A 3-year-old female typically weighs between 27.5 to 33 pounds (12.5 to 15 kilograms), with the average being around 31 pounds (about 14 kilograms). The normal weight range generally falls between approximately 24 to 39 pounds (11 to 18 kilograms), depending on individual growth patterns and health factors. Here are weight percentiles for a 3-year-old girl to give a fuller perspective:
- 5th percentile (lower end): about 24 pounds (11 kg)
- 50th percentile (average): about 29.5 pounds (13.4 kg)
- 95th percentile (higher end): about 36 pounds (16.2 kg)
Weights below 24 pounds may indicate malnourishment or underweight status, while weights above 35-38 pounds may indicate overweight, all depending on height and overall health context. It is best to consider weight alongside other growth factors and consult a pediatrician for individual assessment.
