The harm of 3-month-old baby being too fat

Everyone likes chubby babies, they look so cute that you can’t help but want to pinch them. Many mothers think that the fatter their babies are, the better, and that it is a symbol of health. Especially in the infant period, some mothers will blindly give their babies supplements. In fact, if the baby is too fat, it is easy to harm the baby's health and hinder their development. This should attract the attention of all mothers. So what are the dangers of a 3-month-old baby being too fat?

1. Overweight children have difficulty learning to roll over and grab things because their bodies are not flexible, and their motor development often lags behind that of normal children. When learning to walk, the excessive burden on the feet can easily cause the arch of the foot to disappear, resulting in flat feet or bowed legs. If a child is too obese, excess cholesterol will accumulate on the blood vessel walls, which may lay the foundation for arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease in adulthood. In recent years, studies have shown that babies who are too fat before the age of one have too many fat cells and are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases, obesity and other diseases in adulthood than babies who are of moderate weight before the age of one. In addition, overweight babies are generally weaker in body. If they catch a cold, they will have a fever and catch a cold easily, and the possibility of contracting asthma will also increase.

2. For 3-month-old babies, who are in a stage of rapid growth and development, the feeding principle is to feed on demand, with a daily intake of 500ml~700ml. In addition, exercise is an effective way to prevent and treat baby obesity. On the one hand, it can consume excess calories in the body and effectively prevent obesity; on the other hand, it promotes physical development and strengthens the physique, which is also beneficial to the baby's mental development. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the baby's development, choosing exercise suitable for him is an effective means of preventing baby obesity.

3. If a three-month-old baby is too fat, it is not good for their health. It will cause the baby to learn to walk later and will affect the baby's mobility. Most babies will suffer from genu valgum or genu varum due to being too fat. The joints will be under weight for a long time and will also wear out, causing abnormal pain in the legs or joints of the children. Because babies are in the stage of growth and development, the proportion of organic matter in their bones is relatively large. Once they are subjected to force, they will cause bending and deformation. If the weight is too overweight, it will increase the burden on the baby's lower limbs, especially the supporting joints of the lower limbs.

4. When a baby's brain tissue produces too much fat, it is easy to induce the appearance of obese brain, which will cause the child's thinking to be slow and his memory to deteriorate, seriously endangering the baby's intellectual development. Because the baby's body is obese, the body surface area will also be relatively larger, causing the child's blood to be insufficiently oxygenated, and the brain will be in a state of hypoxia, which can easily induce symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and will affect the child's heart relaxation and lung breathing to a certain extent, thereby hindering the baby's cardiopulmonary function and even affecting other functions.
