Well mine has a fat wee face and only eats when he's hungry, so.... ! Who cares! Are they not content giving 10 year olds eating disorders that they are starting on toddlers!

And mine has a really healthy diet (unlike me), i'd be more worried if he didnt have a pudgy wee face.
Can you imagine a thin wee toddler, you'd think they were ill or you'd be calling social services.
No offence to anyone with a poorly child

i know what you mean! ds is quite tall for his age, and an average weight for his age too. he eats a fairly decent diet, well we're working on improving that..slowly
