Dear Amir,
Ever since we stayed at Tok Ma, you've been expanding horizontally at a worrying speed. Most of those who saw you lately said that there's nothing to worry about since you are healthy and just as active as a toddler can be. In fact you're even more active now that you have more space to run about and lots of people to run to. As a person who consistently surpass the standard size since veryvery young, I think it's justified for me to worry. Afterall, your Papa's gene is not of the petite kind either. So, you have it there in your blood like a weight problem fail-proof plan.
What cause this is definitely your food and uh-uh(milk) intake. You drink your milk like every 3-4 hours now.. just like baby Yaya. In fact, i think it was her that might have 'caused' this pattern since you'll demand for milk everytime you see her feeding. I've asked kakak to make half bottle everytime you ask for uh-uh, but you'll throw a fit once the bottle is emptied. So we are diluting your feed now, and so far no complain. I wont be too worried abt this if your food intake is ok, but the problem is, the kitchen/dining area is your main camp site and that means you'll eat and snack constantly. That is not including the main meals that you seems to enjoy especially now that you have learned to like ikan goreng and sup sayur - which is my confinement menu.
Well, 21 mths, 16+ kg and the XL huggies diapers now looks like a g-string on you - I hope they are right and i'm just paranoid.

and here i am worrying about the exact opposite thing hehehe.
for toddlers, tak payah la suppress his food or milk intake babe. he'll grow out of it. he'll get to the stage where he doesn't want to eat soon enough, like ayra :(
some kids don't eat, some kids eat and eat. gib is like amir.. he'll munch all day but it looks like he's following H's family genes. they eat like horses but don't gain weight fast. yeah.. lucky devils. i on the other hand am not so lucky. maybe our next one will be like me! it's a worrying thought and i get why ure worried. but honestly, i've seen "big", truly fat kids and amir is definitely not fat. he's chubby and just the right size. he doesnt look overly chubby. just right, if u ask me. ;)
he's still a growing toddler, but we've seen many cases when parents overstuff their kids with poor diet. so as long as he's eating healthy (keep off the sugary treats and bad carbs) i think he'll be fine.
p/s: geram with his gebuness actually!
