People commenting on my 6 YO DD weight?

Don't be mean

Why would it be a wind up? Why are you even bothering to post on OPs thread if you don't have anything useful to add. She is clearly struggling with 3 very young children and trying to juggle everything.

For the twins and to prevent sugary food habits can I suggest you
Cook them lots of curries and stews ( blended a bit if needed )
Fish is so quick to cook thrown on top of rice
Stew fruit
Greek yoghurt with stewed fruit is great
Hummus
Lots of flavours and not those baby food jars ( tbh I have no idea if people use jars at 9months I don’t know what age they go up to )

Nows the time to cut out the need to snack on carbs and sugary stuff, it’s so easy to get addicted.

[ mum of one plus twins too, I batch cooked every Sunday for an easier life during the week ]

Is this a wind up

The thing is though you don't want to be banning treats. There is no reason not to have some nice treats like a piece of cake or pack of crisps. The problem comes when the treats form the vast majority of the diet.

Porridge no sugar, maybe a banana or sultanas on top
Evening. Chicken not chicken nuggets and peas/ any veg not baked beans
…….veg stews, curries, all with rice or barley.
No supper but if hungry a piece of fruit or veg sticks and hummus or a hot drink before bed.

Id cut out the idea of a regular McDonalds as well
Pancakes and waffles as a go to snack are high in calories and sugar.
Keep a big bowl of fruit on show if she’s hungry she gets used to seeing lots of colourful healthy stuff. You could put some carrots in it as well.

My DD was born at a very average height and length, but was at the amber low range for weight for her height on primary school and I did worry - I would have also worried if she were your DDs weight. Maybe I worry too much. From
What you've posted your DD could do with more fruit and veg. But my hat goes off to you having twins, I get that you are surviving - so small
easy changes - healthy, easy dinners you can all eat like fish rice and broccoli rather than nuggets? And cut down on the waffles and have apple slices instead?

I have a tall just and so 6 year old who is just over 3 stone (20kg) and a tallish 7.5 year old who is 3.8 stone (24kg)

They have a small bowl of porridge each for breakfast and a banana/ apple.

Fruit and milk at first break time (if in school) or fruit/milk and a digestive at 10.30/11 at home.

They have school dinners so usually a sandwich or a jacket potato and a small slice of tray bake or a yoghurt or a piece of fruit.

At home for lunch it's usually a sandwich and a packet of crisps and some fruit/veg sticks.

After school - crackers and cheese and some fruit, carrot sticks and boiled eggs as immediate after school snacks.

Evening meal - meat and two veg type meals as a family , or sometimes spag bol/lasagne/pizza. On Friday night they get an icecream and we usually have some kind of pavlova or sponge pudding on a Sunday. It's rare for them to say they are hungry again before bed time but they can have a slice of toast or a banana, and a glass of milk if they are.

They only drink milk or water unless it's a special occasion.

We aren't strangers to crisps and biscuits but they are limited. They are also very active children and don't use electronic devices (we own them but they just aren't interested).

Your issue I think is that she seems to be eating quite calorific food 4 - 6 times a day.

Glad you’ve had nice replies Op you sound like you are very much doing your best.

Some ideas for what she should be eating

Breakfast-
Eggs, these can be scrambled, boiled, poached or made into omlette. If short on time hard boil a load and keep them in the fridge can be used for breakfast or snacks.
Porridge with a spoon of peanut butter or fruit.
Plain Greek or normal yogurt with fruit and some walnuts or other nut.
Wholemeal toast with peanut butter
Savory muffins can be made easily and cam be batch cooked and stored in the fridge.
Overnight oats are great and really easy.

Lunch - if she is having school dinners you are limited by the choice that they have but if she is at home eg weekends or holidays then things like
Wholemeal bread sandwich with tuna, egg, cheese, humous, soft cheese etc.
Pitta toasted and cut into strips served with humous and veg batons.
A plate with cheese, veg, fruit, some oatcakes.
Soup.
Mini pizza made with a pitta bread.

Dinner
She needs good quality protein such as chicken, fish, lentils etc. Salmon is good as is mackerel.
Plenty of veg on the plate.
Jacket potato with tuna and salad.
Make chilli, curry, stir fry with loads of veg,
Snacks should be limited but some good ideas are
Oatcakes with cheese, peanut butter etc, cubes of cheese, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, a biscuit, fruit, veg sticks, humous

There is no reason not to have crisps, biscuits and chocolate but it shouldn't be every day.

This has some easy swaps and ideas.

I have an active 7 year old DD who eats a lot less than that. After school your DD is having an after school snack, then dinner, then supper...my DD just has dinner! At the very least she doesn't need supper. When does she go to bed? Assuming she's home from school around 4pm that's a lot of food in a short space of time.

Honestly @mumspiration1997 you are doing so well to just keep everyone alive at this point, all hats off to you for managing twins and your 6yr old.

Sounds like you have been given some good advice so far, but I'd echo a previous poster, don't make too many changes too quickly, she is much more likely to resist if it feels like a massive change/punishment.

Things I would consider:

1. Get her cooking/preparing snacks with you.

1. Make healthier versions of the food she already likes, homemade protein pancakes are more filling than shop ones, but can be batch made & frozen, so still quick day to day.

1. Don't beat yourself up too much, take a gradual approach, don't aim to put her on a diet, just aim for healthy changes so that every time she has a growth spurt, she gets closer to being in the healthy range.

Parents are generally not great at realizing that there children are developing weight problems. I had an aunt who's daughter was extremely overweight a young age. My aunt swore it was just baby fat. My cousin is now over 300 pounds at age 20 and has terrible eating habits that are unlikely to change any time soon. I worry that she won't make it to thirty.

Well done for asking the question and for taking on board the replies - it’s certainly not easy with twins at this age and no one is their best parent when tired (and you must be shattered). You’ve got this 👍🏻💪🏻

The babies will also be eating more family food soon so that’s an easy way to introduce changes eg you have probably got into rut of making nuggets for her while juggling bottles for babies. If you can make something they can all eat in slow cooker like bolognese or a fish pie then it will make life easier if you are all having same.
Does she drink lots of water. I wonder if she’s asking for snacks as she’s thirsty.

Please don't let her get fat OP. I was the chubby kid and my parents insisted it was puppy fat. I have spent my life battling it, mostly settling around size 16. My sister was twice as big and I begged my parents to do something but they told I was jealous or mean. She is morbidly obese now, she never overcame it and it makes me bloody angry. I totally understand, I had a 6 Yr old with 9 month old twins too! He was lucky to be fed at all, it's survival mode.

Dentist will probably mention this anyway. DS has very good oral hygiene and a pretty good diet but even we were told yoghurts and juice are weekend only! They would very quickly say “no chocolate during week”
etc.
