Im seeong health visitor monday and am now worried shes going to shout at me my little girl is over weight! Bit she doesnt look over weight one bit she looks healthy! Im worried now!!! Hoping my MIL scales arw broken 😯😢

Answer

Do NOT worry about your child’s weight like that. Your child isn’t obese at 32 lbs. in fact your MIL should not be weighing your child and putting these pressures on them or you! 
My kids probably the same weight. I don’t care. Shes healthy. She eats her fruits and veggies. She eats a little meat and carbs. She’s balanced. It is what it is. Her body will do what it should. I’ll find out on Tuesday how much she’s grown and I expect it to be 31-32 lbs.  her cousin already weighs more than her and they are 1 week apart in age. Healthy looks different on everyone.

Answer

Why are you worried about your child’s weight? If they’re eating then they’re probably healthy, there isn’t a real “over weight” for kids because their weight fluctuates so much. I wouldn’t worry unless a doctor says to worry

Answer

Most 18 months old are pretty squirming so my guess it she was probably putting her own weight down to keep her on the scale not that she should be weighing her anyway. Kids come in all shapes and sizes if your health care provider isn't worried I wouldn't worry.
