Weight gain

Our pediatrician keeps telling me that my son is obese. He's 13 mo, 32" and 32lbs. Idk what to do to help him lose or maintain weight. He doesn't eat a lot of snacks and drinks whole milk (5oz about 4 times a day). Any advice??

    Are you asking if we think you should put your 13 month old on a diet? I am not sure I would consider 32lbs at that height obese. Feed your kid a healthy diet and he will be ok. Maybe get a new pedi too.

    Is he walking? I found when my son started walking he thinned out.

    My 3 year old niece weighs 32 pounds so it does seem high but he is tall and that matters.

    I would probably start with a second opinion before a diet. Nutrition is way too important at this stage to cut things out IMO.

    He's walking and running all over the place. He eats lots of fruit and veggies and I don't give him juice. I will try to cut out one bottle though. Thanks. (:

    The rec is at least 16oz of milk a day so I wouldnt go under that.  You also shouldnt restrict calories or dietary fats from kids under 2.  I would have another conversation with your pedi.
