Are fat babies healty babies?

Fat or chubby babies may look super cute, but the sad truth is, all that fat does not mean a baby is necessarily healthy. Of course babies are supposed to have baby fat, but if a baby is overweight, it can cause a delay in various developmental milestones. If a baby is overweight, it can lead to difficulty in crawling and walking. Once the baby fat sticks on, the baby may grow into an obese toddler or child, causing a risk of various health issues. Some illnesses that are associated with being overweight are heart problems and diabetes. Your baby's doctor will be the best judge about your baby's ideal weight. You can ensure your baby does not get extra fat or sugar by avoiding giving any sweet laden drinks or foods and also avoiding giving your baby the breast or bottle each time your baby is upset.
