dd at 15 mths always has a tummy which looks really bloated. but she seems perfectly fine and healthy otherwise. is a bloated tummy a sign of any health problems?

How bloated is bloated hazlinh? My DD (16 months on the 3rd June) looks pregnant! All babies and toddlers have fat tummies ... or most do ...
My DS (5yrs) is only just losing his toddler tummy!

My dd aged 2.3 has a huge belly and always has done so much so that her pants struggle to stay up. The doc looked at me as if I'd gone completely mad when I asked him to check. She looks like she drinks about 12 pints of Guiness a day!

I think some children have 'toddler's tum'. My son had an impressive stomach for years. Usually as they grow, the tum disappears. I think his problem was worsened by wind too!! So long as they seem healthy, I wouldn't worry.
