Why are my kids so thin?

I feed my children like any other parent and they are so thin. I do not want to have them eat garbage all day. I also do think they can enjoy a snack a couple times a day. My little 3 day old, VAlentina just hit 7 pounds. My son, is 3’7” and is 6.5 and weighs thirty five pounds. Tori weighs 27 and is three. I don’t like going to the store and having people say “Wow those kids are skinny, do you feed them?” Maybe Valentina will be defferent.

Answer #1

Don’t feed them crap or junk food, that’s just bad for them. Feed them healthy carbs, and see a doctor.

I repeat, see a doctor.

Answer #2

ok dont start feeding them junk food constantly like everyone’s saying to! Thats not good at all! But dont just feed them helth food! lol but it’ll help!

Answer #3

thats why I hate going into public with u

Answer #4

is she really 7 pounds they must have a high matabolism I was the same way when I was a baby and young I weighed 45 pounds until I was 10 so you can imagine me now im 5’ 8” and weigh 176 pounds so yea they can possible gain more weight

Answer #5

junk food isn’t the answer, those aren’t even good fats. consult with your doctor, they’re just kids. weight fluctuates often through childhood. my sister was premature and very little up until around the age of six, she began actually developing into her body putting on a little weight just overall looking more like a healthy kid.

Answer #6

They could be allergic to gluten and if so they won’t gain any weight

Answer #7

they probably have a really high matabalism!! trust me there is nothing wrong with them!! some kids have struggle with that because people always say they are sick or something but there not they just have a high metabalism and its nothing to be worried about!

Answer #8

I agree with limey. They could just have a really high metabolism. Younger kids tend to have a faster meatbolism, and as they age, it gets slower. But if you’re really worried about it, you could take them to a doctor. Dont give them a whole bunch of fatty foods, if may make them seem bigger, but it would just make them unhealthy.

Answer #9

omg my 2yr old weighs 35lbs you really need to feed them food thats has fat like JUNK food give the what thay want..goodluck if cps say your children they might wud take them away from you…

Answer #10

they could have really high Metabolism. I have friends who eat constanly as seniors in high school and are barely at 100lbs. I think you can have it checked but you probably don’t need to worry bout it =)
