DD is 3.2 yo, in the 50-75 centile range for height and in between 91 and 98 centile for weight. This means her BMI says she is obese/very overweight.
So, she has always been in that weight centile from birth. She used to be in the 75 - 91 range for height but that has obviously slid down (which given her parents are both average height would make sense).
So apparently I have an obese toddler. Should I worry, and what if anything should I do about it?
We have always fed on demand as a BF baby and toddler. She has always self-regulated her solid food eating. This seems to work as she will leave food on her plate if she isn't hungry or ate more at lunch etc.
We eat a reasonable varied diet. We do full fat milk etc. but don't do sugar packed stuff. DD does eat a lot of fruit. It is her favourite food and that could be an issue.
The only things she will eat even after saying she is full are raspberries and tomatoes....
