Patient's question:
Onset time: Laboratory test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: My daughter is 3 years and 5 months tall, 1.05 meters, and weighs 38 kilograms. Since this year, her appetite has decreased significantly, and she loves vegetables. She has also been eating fruits well recently and enjoys meat. However, I am afraid she will become too fat, so I don't give her much meat. She used to be thin, but she has gained weight since her appetite improved. I am worried about her becoming too fat when she grows up, as she is in a critical period for physical development. I don't want to restrict her diet, but I don't know how to do it properly. I would like to ask for advice on whether her current weight is appropriate and whether it will affect her future body shape. What kind of assistance would you like: Is it true that if a child is too fat when they are young, it will affect their body shape when they grow up?Doctor's answer:
Children are at a stage of growth, and a better appetite is a good thing. As long as the diet is healthy, it doesn't matter. Just avoid eating before taking a nap. Moreover, your daughter doesn't have a picky eating problem and even dislikes fruits and vegetables, which is actually a good thing. Don't worry about it. Proper nutrition in childhood is essential for growth and development, enabling children to grow taller. It has little to do with their body shape later in life.Survival care: Don't be afraid of your child eating, as long as the diet is normal and healthy, and there is no picky eating or meat deficiency.
