They are naturally the cutest among the rest, especially if they look chubby. You just can’t get enough of cuddling such a cute angel face and tickling his or her soft flabby belly. Babies who have rapid weight increase will grow up naturally looking fat, most especially during adolescent stage. This might sound normal among infants and a fast augmentation in weight might pose a danger during either the toddler years or growing up. Several researchers warned parents about the negative health impact of their overweight preemie.

Toddlers gaining pounds in the first six months are at risk of rapidly growing early flab offspring. Babies obtaining more than forty percent fat may have the chance of getting higher risks of plumpness once they reach the age of three. A group of research analysts from Harvard Medical School and Children’s Hospital in Boston premeditated more than five hundred kids involving in Project Viva, a constant study conducted for two thousand pregnant women including their children. In the project, they deliberated the length and heaviness at birth in an average span of three years plus six months. They also measured flesh thickness using the arms and upper back part of three year olds to determine the adiposity and excess fats occurring in an infantile age.

Another research also pointed out that rapid gain of weight also occurs among newborns even in the first couple of weeks of existence, as stated by Doctor Elsie Taveras from Harvard. An example from Taveras’ study can be a credible basis for future considerations. Two newborns attain the same body mass but the fats of both rapidly changed in six months; now the other weighs about 8 kilograms while the other is thinner at 7 kilograms. According to the study, the fatter newborn might have advanced risk of plumpness when he or she turns three.

Parents need not worry since there are answers that will cater to the concern. They need to approach a pediatrician for consultation on toddler weighing guidelines, checkups and possible prescriptions.
