What weight should a 5 year old be?

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the average weight range for a 5 year old girl is 37.4-50.6 pounds and for a 5 year old boy is 38.6-52.6 pounds. However, it's important to remember that every child is different and these are just averages. Your child's weight may be slightly above or below these ranges and still be considered healthy. If you have any concerns about your child's weight, it's always best to talk to your doctor.
