ATTN: Moms of two year old girls!
How tall are your babies? My daughter turned 2 on August 20th. She is 34 inches tall and 34 lbs. her doctor said her BMI is really high. I googled it and she is in the 99% and considered obese. I just lost 65 lbs over the last year by changing the way we eat though, so I’m not sure if I am actually over feeding her, and I’m certainly not feeding her just junk food. But she’s the fattest girl in ballet. The other girls are so cute and thin. People don’t tell me my daughter is cute anymore. It’s always “oh she’s only two? She’s huge!” And it is really bugging me. Is it possible to actually be overweight at this age? Will she grow out of it? I’m calorie counting for my two year old guys. I’m afraid to give her cheese or milk anymore because she just keeps gaining weight. That doesn’t feel right to me. Photos of her hair because it turned out really cute!
I’m editing to just say thank you guys for understanding my frustration and letting me know how normal this is! And after paying a bit more attention, I’ve noticed she’s not just the “fattest” girl in ballet, but also the tallest and her frame isn’t as petite. She has a stockier bone structure and that’s totally okay! I think you guys are right and she will grow out of her baby belly. She is such a happy and loving kid, and I shouldn’t have let everyone’s comments bother me. She is watching Beauty and the Beast with a cup of whole milk right now!
