Children Healthy Care

If your child is overweight, further weight gain can be prevented. Parents can help their children keep their weight in the healthy range.

* In infancy, breastfeeding and delaying introduction of solid foods may help prevent obesity.

* In early childhood, children should be given healthful, low-fat snacks and take part in vigorous physical activity every day. Their television viewing should be limited to no more than seven hours per week (which includes video games and the Internet).

Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much.
