The Weight of the Children Standard for Growth
The Westminster Review states that at age five a child should weigh about as many pounds as inches high, around forty pounds. Weight should rise about two pounds per inch of growth, with excess weight signaling good health and slow growth requiring rest. Deficient weight relative to height is unfavorable and ongoing weight stagnation during growth is a danger signal.
