Off the back of another thread I weighed and measured dd (3.0) today. She's 89cm and 15kg. According to the NHS calculator she's in the red, "extremely overweight".
Now I know you have to look at diet and portion sizes, but dd is currently doing that thing that three year olds do and not eating.
For example:
Today:
Breakfast: 1/2 scrambled egg
Snack: breadsticks and apple (water) at nursery
Lunch: 1/2 peanut butter sandwich and organix carrot stix
Dinner: 1 homemade chicken tender and 3 pieces of red pepper.
She did have a treat of two celebrations today.
This was a typical day. She doesn't get treats everyday. She drinks 1/4 fruit juice (not squash) to 3/4 water. She usually doesn't eat dinner because she refuses and has maybe 1/2 apple. She doesn't eat "normal" crisps. Snack at home is usually a naked bar.
What do I do? The child barely eats, although this is a rather new development. Do I go to GP or wait and see if she evens out? How do I cut anything "bad" out of her diet when she's currently being so bloody picky??
