Hi all. Its killing me to have to write this so please go easy.
Ds is 2years 8 months. Had him weighed last weekend and he is 18.5kg. This makes him too heavy for his stage 1 car seat which is apparently suitable up to 4 year. This has freaked me out as he is obviously overweight.
He does not look fat. Hes still in age 2-3 clothes confortably but is big built (to be fair so am I and his dad. Dad is 6'4 and size 13 shoe for eg) He is a size 9.5 shoe and we needed to buy him a teenagers bike helmet as toddlers didnt go near.
Dh and I are overweight, something we are currently trying to tackle and intend to do more with after ds2 arrives in july.
ds1 has a fairly healthy diet but is limited. Will not eat any meat (we eat meat, he wont touch), and limited veg. He is also woth grandparents 2 days a week and they feed him crap despite several discussions on it.
Will I look crazy taking him to doc for advice? Im not sure where I need to start and I dont want weight to be an issue for him like it is for me
