We have to use SOME measures of evaluating whether a child at age X months has a higher liklihood of being overweight at XX months. What we have is height and weight and statistics for males and females to compare that baby to. We need to look back to infancy and see if anything that is being done with the massess is leading the masses to be overweight. That INCLUDES looking at feeding, sleep (very very very mportant), nutrients, exercise, play, etc.
I'm fat now
and GUESS WHAT I wasnt fat as a baby I ate the wrong things and whenever I wanted FINALLY took control of my life 4 months ago and Im already down 60 pounds Im NOT Obese because my Mom feed me to much, started me early on food, etc. Im Obese because I choose to be. I guess the new excuse soon will be Im fat now because I was a fat baby.
