How possible a 1 year old baby weighs 20 kgs ??? Does obesity threatens the babies now?

Question

just heard from bbc news - turkey

(20 kgs= 44 pounds)

Answer 1

that is one big baby!

My daughter is three and weighs 15kg/35lbs

When I first moved to FL my neighbors son was only four years old and weighed close to 80lbs. He wore a 34" waist. I watched him closely one day and just before his grandmother told him it was time for lunch he grabbed six slices of bread out of the fridge and ran out the door with them. He then came back for lunch and ate with all the other kids.

I sometimes feel bad because I let my kids eat things that are not always good for them. It's not all the time, but I wonder if just that little bit is going to cause them to make bad nutrition choices in the future. Then I think I'm being paranoid and a psycho parent.

Overall when I think back at the little boy in FL I don't feel I'm being to strict about their food choices. But then again I do have every ones food guide chart printed off the web site and taped to the kitchen cabinets so that when they make a, not so good choice, they can see what would've been a more healthier choice. My son knows if he wants cereal for breakfast that he can only have the serving size listed. If he choose to have fresh fruit and yogurt the servings are larger and more filling. I hope I'm doing things right. I do know that both my kids have many choices other than junk to eat at home. My mother has even visited my home and has asked me where I hide the junk food at? I just tell her that I don't buy it so there is non hidden. She thinks I'm crazy. I really wish she would've done the same for me when I was a kid.

I could see that a child weighing 44lbs is possible @ one year, but very disheartening to myself.

Answer 2

I am not an expert on infants, but I have read several books from cover to cover. I just had a baby, so I was always interested in everything that will/may happen... Anyways, from what I have read, has the baby been breastfed or bottle fed? The reason why I am asking is because when a baby is breastfed, there is milk called "hind milk," which contains much more fat than the "frontal milk." When the hind milk starts coming out, it's usually an indication for the baby that he/she is full, so they stop eating. As for formula, the baby does not have that "fat indicator," so they keep on drinking, therefore, making them not realize they are full.
Also, to answer your question, yes, there is a much greater risk of a child/adult being obese if they were obese as a baby (and as you would know, genetics play a large role in this matter also).
Obesity can threaten anyone.

Answer 3

well not exactly like your situation but almost the same. I barely sleep. I mean sleep is time being wasted and I dont get tired from not sleeping. My aunt, her 1 year 1 month old daughter and I were in a car driving. We were trying to check out colleges for me (happened a while ago, about 2 weeks) well my aunt got very tired and wanted to sleep but I wanted to keep going so I kept driving and she hasnt slept in a while from the baby. So she went all the way in the back of her explorer and she fell asleep. The baby was in the 2nd row and i was driving. the temperature changed from hot to cold and from cold to hot so i kept switching the a/c and heat. well i put on kiddy songs that she would love. I also made her a cd of me saying baby stuff. You know what i mean, like when your over them and saying "whos a cute widdle baby, yes u are, yes u are" and i played that for her. when she got hungry or tired i would pull down to the side of the road or into a parking lot and walk around with her so she can relax a bit. I would feed her and change her diaper. I would play games with her like peek-a-boo and other stuff. My aunt brought some toys so i played with those to cheer her up. It was a good 18-20 hours when my aunt woke up and saw the baby was fine. REMEMBER -stop every bit so the baby can relax, its frustrating sitting in the same chair for a long time -entertain her as much as you can when you have stopped. -music cds (for kids) are a big help -and they sleep about 50%+ of the day anyway -also get them a little treat. im guessing if she will be 1 year old she can feed herself, so get her healthy snack. like chocolate grahmcrackers hope i helped

Answer 4

My son is 14, he weighed 8lb1.5oz at birth, at 8-9 months he weighed 22lb, he is now 5ft 9 a size 12 in a shoe and trim and lean, he is very active always skating. He has always eaten homemade food. i do honestly believe it is down to the parents and as harsh as this may sound if children are obese it should be deemed a form of child abuse, because you don't get fat eating a balanced diet with plenty of exercise!

Answer 5

2.2lbs in a kilo... that would be about 40lbs...

It's not that obesity threatens babies now- it's that parents seem to be forgetting the food guide and feeding their children prepackaged, premade, high sugar, high fat content, low nutrient content stuff. Chef Boy-ar-dee, macaroni and cheese, high sugared cereal, white bread, coke, pepsi, too much syrup or butter on pancakes... etc.

A lot of parents still understand th importance of healthy nutrition, but unfortunately, there are those who either understand but don't have time, or just don't understand.

Plus, there are those that resort to food every time their child cries, which really doesn't help the child as much as they think it does.

Answer 6

Some people overfeed their children. There are kids like that on talk shows (Maury). http://www.dmt123.com/diet-fitness/87-3-dmt123.html
