"Discussing a child’s weight with their parents is difficult because they may become upset (72%), angry (47%) or make a complaint (24%) or that may cause shame or stigma (74%)."

This is according to a survey of GPs published in The Guardian today.

The stats are clear.

* the number of children living with obesity is very high

* children living with obesity are more likely to become adults living with obesity

* we are not turning the tide in the way we should have done

* children from more deprived areas are more likely to live with obesity

We need:

* GPs to be able to talk about obesity

* Body positive messages - like the great work at body happy.org Body Happy Org spearheaded by Molly Forbes

* A complete rethink about early years nutrition like I supported the call for with the All Parliamentary Group on a Fit and Healthy Childhood

* Services to refer to which follow the wonderful work on the compassionate approach done in Doncaster and in other places.

* And images of obesity which are not like the one in the piece in the Guardian! Obesity is far more complex than that.

There is so much more work to be done. I'd love to have a chat if you want to commission work to really make a change in this area.

Weaning isn't just about first tastes. It's a journey.

Join me for the next First Foods Course to learn about the early foods AND what comes after that.

I have been running this course since 2012 and updated it as new guidance has come out and as the food landscape for parents has changed. We cover allergies, eating out and about, safety, nutrition, fussy eating and more.

3 sessions which will change how you feed - for the better.

And if you don't have a baby of the right age, please share this post with someone who does. Let's improve children's nutrition together.
