A chubby toddler may be adorable and the parents have the satisfaction that their child is well fed but excess weight in children is often ignored due to the myth that the ‘baby fat’ will drop away as they grow up. While it is possible in some cases, baby fat is real fat and a heavier start will make it difficult for the child to shed weight as they grow as compared to a child that is of healthy weight. Speak to your child’s doctor or to a paediatric nutritionist to know what changes in their eating habits would help them grow up healthy. Helping your child become healthier may make you an even better parent than you are already.
