Weight Management & Overweight Infants

Weight Management Plan
Strategies used in a weight management plan are based on information obtained from an assessment. Weight loss is recommended if complications such as hyperlipidemia or hypertension are identified, and for children 7 years or older with a BMI-for-age > 95th percentile. Otherwise, weight maintenance is recommended.

Overweight Infants Aged 2 Years & Under
Since infancy is a period of rapid growth and appropriate weight gain is important during infancy, weight loss is generally not recommended (Kleinman, 1998). However, health care providers may determine that follow up of weight gain is appropriate in certain circumstances (e.g., delayed motor development due to excess body weight) and refer children younger than 2 years to a pediatric obesity center.
