Children grow in spurts and each grows differently.
Do not assume that your child is overweight. Babies and toddlers naturally have greater amounts of body fat. Usually, this disappears between the ages of 2-3, as their bodies grow more proportioned. Offering planned, well balanced meals to your child. Offering nutritious snacks to your child such as fruit juices, cheese, peanut butter, crackers, yogurt, fresh fruit and vegetables.
