Overweight DD what to do?

[Smarshian]

My DD has always been a great eater from the time she weaned. She isn’t fussy and likes a large range of different foods, including plenty of fruit and vegetables. Obviously she also likes treats, but we tend to limit them in the house. She might have eg. an ice lolly, tub of jelly or packet of crisps (one option) each day.
She is always hungry and usually has a lot at each meal and snacks on plenty of fruit.
I’ve always been of the opinion that we should just give a healthy range of food and she can moderate intake.
The problem is she is now overweight. She is 3.5 and according to the NHS calculator is on the 93rd centile and therefore overweight.
What is the best way to tackle this?

Both DH and I are at the upper end/ just above healthy BMI and have generally good eating habits.
I really don’t think I could just ban all snacks between meals (and I’m not sure that’s recommended for small children). They tend to need to eat more regularly than adults. I will try to introduce more veg snacks instead of just fruit.
With the ‘treats’ she will usually have one of these things most days after dinner. I think I will try to reduce this to 2/3 days a week.
She only has semi skimmed milk and drinks mainly water (doesn’t really like juice/squash)
I will try the sugar free ice lollies and moulds, I think they’d go down well.

I would watch the portion size but I wouldn’t ban snacks. My nearly 3 yr old is very tall and heavy, leaned out a lot in the last 6 months. I wouldn’t ban treats just again watch the size and amount- my LO has a lolly maybe 4 times a week at the moment- usually a milk lolly, a party ring after dinner - pls don’t put your active child on a diet.

I wouldn’t do anything yet. She is over the 90th for height so the NHS BMI rules don’t apply. Keep an eye on her intake though - if you can use this as an opportunity to clean up the family diet. Less processed food, more raw / salad type food.

My DC was born on the 98th centile and stayed there but no health professional has ever suggested that he is overweight, even when I asked if his weight was okay.

He was never a skinny kid but never looked overweight - and I know what to look for. He's a slender teen now, probably still on same centile
