Most Parents Assume their Baby is at Healthy Weight

I’ve always wondered about this…

I’ve seen some chubby babies, more-so in recent years.  And it’s hard to tell where ‘baby fat’ leaves off and impending childhood obesity kicks in.  As mentioned in this study, most parents don’t want to hear this, and I can’t blame them.  It must be very scary to have a child with a weight problem, especially with everything we now know about the repercussions of overweight and obesity.  So you want to do something, but the last thing you want to do is make a child self-conscious about their weight, so it’s a delicate line to tread.  Definitely a tough situation for everyone involved.
