The sources I have address what typically influences toddler weight gain — like activity level, sugary drinks, and responsive feeding — but they don't cover the specific question of what causes a healthy eater to plateau, so I can't give you a confident explanation from research here.\n\nWhat matters most right now is that your pediatrician has his full picture: how much he's eating, what he's eating, his energy and development, and how his growth looks on his own curve over time (a single plateau can be normal variation, especially if he was gaining faster before). Bring his feeding history to that visit — it'll help your doctor determine whether this is typical variation or something worth investigating further.","sources":"[]","thread_json":null,"topic":"growth-and-weight","view_count":0,"created_at":"2026-09-08T00:00:48.479Z"}
