Why do toddlers not gain weight even when eating?

Answer by  dantheman50 (103)

Toddlers are very busy little things. It almost seems like they're moving even when they're standing still! Kiddos are moving and growing at a rate that would wear out most adults I know. Just remember that your toddler will naturally eat what she needs and stop when she needs to.

My little one held steady at 29 pounds for nearly 8 months! My only guess is that they are growing taller and thinning out from 2-3 which is why the scale doesn't move very much. All of those little jelly rolls from the first 1-2 years are finally spreading out! Also, they run around like crazy and burn calories!
