My Big Fat Baby Boy

Wow... your baby is really big... my baby is now 20 months old but she only weighs 10 kgs... i am so frustrated with her weight... but the doctor said that it is quite normal since my husband and i are both thin... i weigh only 110 lbs and only got fat when i was pregnant... But in your case... if you and your husband or like most of the family members are quite big or gains weight easily... then there is nothing to worry about since your baby's condition is hereditary... but i agree that upon reaching 2 years old... you should try to control what he is eating... less sweets but more fruits and vegetables...

since your doctor said that hes fine then nothing to worry about..you have to let the child start eating some solid food so that the milk intake will lesser down in that way you can save some money on milk and it will makes him more stronger specially if more vege on the diet..

I think it may be just babay fat. Don't be so worried. What I have heard from my parents that my elder brother was so fat at younger gae. But later it was all ok. Don't overfeed him and make him active when he grows up a bit.

The important thing is to avoid junk food. Give fruit and raw vegetables for treats. Less pasta, unless it is whole grain. He is still pretty young to cut back his milk intake, but when he is a little older you can give him less milk and more water. I had to put my firstborn on skim milk when she was two years old. It is hard when a child is a picky eater. But the doctors always say that if fruit and vegetables are available and junk food isn't, eventually they will eat the healthy foods. I have a granddaughter who is five and she only wants chicken nuggets, hot dogs, or pasta. But she isn't fat at all, so I guess her parents aren't concerned. Kids often outgrow that picky eating.

I think you dont need to worry right now. Your baby is too young for it and now that the doctor has confirmed that he is health, you should take a sigh of relief! Obesity is certainly becoming a big problem these days. Your concern can't be blaimed. I think you should keep an eye on his eating habbits once he grows up. Keep him away from too much chocolates/sweets, fast food and include fruits and vegetables in his diet. Make sure he drinks a lot of water and plays around/does some physical work. And hey, don't ever count how much your baby eats.. be happy for your one *Smiles* My best wishes for you and your child!

If your doctor said your son is fine, then feel released. Perhaps your son really grows better than anyone:) If it is possible, please ask him to eat more vegetables and fruits. So perhaps it will be helpful.

Probably, he is quite young right now, it's probably just baby fat, but as he is growing, if he stays active,even into his teen years, he will be alright! As long as he stays active, not very much sugar in his diet, I think he will maintain a healthy weight!
