My son loves to eat.. mostly snacks but he is now more conscientious about his appearance and he makes the decision to cut down and watch his food intake...

I feel as the baby becomes more.active, he will lose the baby fats and the doctor would monitor for a while and if he shares a concern then I would worry.

When the doctor mentions something and also need to see what habits are causing child to become obese...

Wait until older as they lose the baby fat when they start running around

When they are no longer babies.. Plus when the doctor say so.

I would start worrying when the doctor updates us on this

But I wasn’t worried as baby fats will go away

It soon goes once they are crawling and walking

Unless it is a serious case of obesity

Or when it is too obvious to your eyes
