Could be a build up of gas in the tummy - maybe try a probiotic for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference]]> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 08:27:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1067517&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1067517 <![CDATA[HUGE pot belly on toddler : My wee girl (16 mths) is tall...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1067435&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1067435 Author: Blankney94

My wee girl (16 mths) is tall and athletic, except for her tummy which looks like a little 'beer belly'. I was worried because it looked out of proportion, but in our case Plunket said it was OK. I remember having a pot tummy as a kid.

Celiac & wheat intolerance are quite different.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 20:57:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1067323&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1067323 <![CDATA[HUGE pot belly on toddler : I asked my GP and she just asked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1067316&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1067316 Author: denny25

Wheat makes DHs tummy bloated.

Eimears tummy gets rock hard if she has too much wheat too so we limit her intake.

Personally I would get it checked out by the GP if you are in any way concerned about it.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:34:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066786&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066786 <![CDATA[HUGE pot belly on toddler : Dan has a BIG belly but is pretty...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066755&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066755 Author: fire_engine

Dan has a BIG belly but is pretty small everywhere else. His tummy is only rock hard after eating though. If it's always rock hard, then I'd check with the GP, but if it's just a podgy pot belly, I wouldn't worry.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:09:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066755&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066755 <![CDATA[HUGE pot belly on toddler : Is it rock hard all the time?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066747&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066747 Author: AandCsmum

Is it rock hard all the time? Or only after eating?

I have read that wheat can make the stomach bloated & distended? Talk to your GP maybe?]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:05:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066747&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066747 <![CDATA[HUGE pot belly on toddler : Ava, who is 21 months old, has...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066598&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066598 Author: denny25

Ava, who is 21 months old, has a HUGE rock hard belly. DP would mention it off and on, but it wasn't until Plunket said "oh i dont think she has an enlarged liver" that I thought there may be something wrong. She has a healthy appetite and weighs 11kg (height 80cm) so is not a huge toddler (except for the stomach!). I remember having a bit of a pot belly as a child.

Is it normal????]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:17:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34115&PID=1066598&title=huge-pot-belly-on-toddler#1066598
