Baby Fat Facts
Do Chubby Toddlers Lead to Obese Kids?
By Jacqueline Bodnar
Being overweight can cause a host of problems, creating difficulties in every area, from finding clothing that fits well to avoiding the school playground. For young children, it's especially troubling because they don't yet have the ability to prepare their own foods or be much of an active participant in deciding what they will eat and how active their family will be. Parents shouldn't make their child's weight a constant worry, but they should take it into consideration and check up on it with their family doctor.
