Is it normal for a toddler to lose weight after they start crawling or walking?

Yes, it is common for a toddler's weight and body composition to shift once they become highly mobile. As they transition from a sedentary infant to a crawling or walking toddler, they burn more energy, which can lead to a leaner appearance or a temporary plateau in weight gain. If you are concerned about weight loss, ensure you have discussed the growth curve with your pediatrician, but know that this is often a normal part of developmental physical changes.
