My 2 year old daughter eats really healthily, lots of fruit and veg and never had any chocolate or processed food. Her weight is on the 98th centile though and height only on 70th..although she doesn’t look overweight I know at the 2 year review the HV will probably tell me that she is...
The problem I think if not good but exercise. I always take her out twice a day, once in the morning to the park, woods sometimes taking her scooter. Once I’m the afternoon for some kind of activity like swimming or soft play. She’s at nursery 3 days a week but they spend all day playing outside so I think she stays pretty active there too.
The problem I have is she tends to get bored and want to sit down or be carried quite quickly. She doesn’t seem to like walking at all..she’s better with the scooter but I usually end up carrying it most the way. I’ve tried to refuse carrying her and walking away a little bit etc but she just doesn’t budge and goes into full blown tantrum throwing herself on the floor and screaming so I just don’t know what else to do..I can’t force her to walk. Same with soft play, she likes it for a bit then just comes to sit down on the chairs!
I’ve got a baby due next month and worried about how I’m going to leave the house as I can’t carry her all the time when I’ve got the newborn in the carrier and if I take the pram she just wants to get in it all the time!
