Baby aged just eight months is seen by NHS obesity clinic

WTF?

 

A baby of eight months has been seen by a new service for severely obese children.

The NHS service in Somerset, called Splash, is one of only a few in the country offering under-fours and their families access to dietary and psychological support.

Dr Chris Knight, clinical director of paediatrics said: 'Eight months is unusual but at that kind of age we can really make progress about how they are feeding those children at such an early stage.

'The majority of our cases are between the ages of two and four but about 15% are under two.'

Peter Fleming, professor of infant health and developmental physiology at the University of Bristol, said: 'It's not unheard of for babies as young as six months to be severely obese because their parents often start giving them solids too soon.'

I don't agree with the opinion that you can give a baby solids too soon. What I think is happening is the kind of food parents are feeding their kids You never saw obese babies years ago. I started my baby on solids at around 5 months, starting with rusk and baby food. I also ground up fresh food as well to feed her. But she never had sugary stuff.

There was one fat child when I was at Primary School, an only child who was spoiled and always had sweets etc.

Plus back then most of us were out running about playing skipping ropes, peever, British Bullies etc.

Now most are sat on their arses all day online and get next to no exercise.

Exactly. No exercise, stuffing sweets, crisps, cakes, chips etc.

A baby should never be labelled obese, it's all wrong.

I've never heard of an obese baby..

Unless you're feeding them lard, or they have some sort of illness, I don't think a baby can consume enough calories to be obese.

They are kinda like puppies.

I know my daughters wake their babies as newborns and feed them to make them pack on weight for the first 2 or 3 weeks..

Even after then, they keep up the feeding..

Here my grandson at 1 month and he's a chubster just like the doctor likes, and when he starts running around he will slim down like his cousins..

Nice baby, Madders.

I was 8lbs 10ozs when I was born, very sturdy.

 Youngsters are one thing. 8 month olds aren't even walking.

 

Either parents are incredibly stupid and feeding them a very unhealthy diet, or the doctors are changing their mind about how chubby infants should be.
