Patient's question:
My child is 18 months old this year. They weigh 20 kilograms. I'm very worried. My baby is good in everything. They just want to eat very much. All day long, they're just thinking about eating. But because my baby is a bit chubby, we haven't given them much to eat every day. They haven't eaten as much as a normal baby. I remember when the baby was 9 months old.Doctor's answer:
Infants enjoy eating at 20 months. It is recommended to give them low-calorie, high-fiber foods. If an infant is obese, it may be due to congenital genetic factors combined with sufficient nutrition during postnatal growth and development. If the weight exceeds the normal range, it is advisable to check the endocrine system. Eating more fruits can divert the child's attention and cultivate interest in other areas. Buying their favorite toys and taking them outdoors can also help. Reducing calorie intake can effectively control weight.
