Overweight toddler?

Question

Hi ladies! We just came from my 2.5 year olds appointment and he is overweight according to his bmi. I'm seriously shocked because he's such a picky eater. We have to stop the one PediaSure we were giving him, no snacks, 3 meals a day, one cup of milk and the rest water. She said give him the healthy options and if he doesn't eat it that's fine, he'll eat it when he's hungry. 😶 He's 3ft and 33lbs.

Answer

BMI is BS. Build, muscle, frame, etc are not taken into account. IF everyone were carbon copies with all factors 100% the same, then you could follow a chart. If your son is active, healthy, eats well and get the vitamins he needs, no worries! 😘

Answer

Overweight? My daughter is 17 months and weighs 30 pounds I think. Shes not chunky AT ALL. I don't think he looks overweight

Answer

He looks super healthy to me bun dosent account for muscle tone or bone  I think you should feed him just the way you were, someone that's not healthy is this my boyfriend's niece four years old wats only chocolate 90% of the day maybe  a piece of pizza through the whole day drinks pop all day or juice hardly any water she weighs about 60 some pounds and she's  four

Answer

No, he definitely does not look 'overweight'! He may be going to be a tall little guy and his height just hasn't caught up yet. I think it's sad that they put this stuff in people's heads to make them think their children are overweight. Now if he was like 10 or 11 and weighed a lot I might be a little concerned but kids are still growing and need the nourishment. 😉 you're doing great!!!

Answer

that is not an over weight child.  did the Dr say over weight?  bc children grow and gain weight and then lose it right away.  unless your doctor actually says your child is overweight.  I'd say you're doing great raising this child.
