[quote=Anonymous]I'll start by saying I was a 'pudgy' kid myself. The short answer is - yes, if your child has a belly (had more than a couple months that could be just before a growth period) then in all honesty, yes, he is at least overweight if not obese. The distinction about the bubble between those is not that significant to worry about if he's on the border. Overall, just try to cut down a little on portions & less processed food & promote any forms of activity. It's not the business of other parents & it's mean and rude of them to comment - but it can happen. I would suggest focusing just on being healthy vs. current weight. And the goal with kids who may be a little over is to have them 'grow into' the weight they are at vs. do not try to get him to 'lose' weight - which starts a bad cycle... if you cut portions or unhealthier foods probably just a little, it should even out.[/quote]
