i don't know a huge amount about children, but at the ago of almost three, shouldn't the girls be eating smaller portions of the same meals that henry and their parents eat? yet they still insist on babying them, feeding them ella's pouches for ease - and because the lure of an #AD opportunity is too much to ignore - something i doubt lottie's dietitian is aware of! half the time they're being filmed, they're eating packets of biscuits or iced gems or eating crisps - essentially nothing with an real nutritional value - either to keep them quiet, or to bribe them into performing for the camera in whatever way alex demands. not that i'm saying kids shouldn't eat those foods, because they should - but in moderation and as part of a balanced diet, especially - if like lottie - your daughter has specific nutritional requirements - and i'm sure the dietitian will have explained to them the importance of a balanced diet which includes all food groups. i remember them very clearly stating, following her latest appointment, that lotte needs more protein, in her diet, and their followers left endless helpful suggestions after charlotte explained lottie doesn't like meat - obvs having not listened to the dietitian, who i'm sure would have explained that meat isn't the only protein source in existence! yet what have they resorted to? a few squares a white bread and a packet of wotsits for the girls' lunch, alongside whatever other nutrionally-deficient foods they are fed through the day. no wonder jimmy is more than half the size of tiny little lottie - and whilst they see this as cute and something to joke about, it only evidences the fact that her little body is starved of nutrients whilst she continues to be fed ella's baby fruit pouches - aimed at the weaning stage - and crisps, and jimmy is being fed his mother's nutritionally-dense milk.
the way they baby the triplets, and encourage them to act younger than they are to ensure they continue to be perceived as cute - as this likely results in more views and followers - it genuinely wouldn't surprise me if they are purposefully feeding lottie the way they do, ignoring nutritional advice, in order to keep her as the tiny lottie that everyone loves - she is undoubtedly the favourite triplet who followers have a soft spot for, specifically because she's cute and little - who cares if she has stunted growth and nutritional deficiencies as a result. it's only become more obvious recently how skinny and small lotte is, as the twins are conyinuingy to grow and fill out alongside her - in comparison, she could easily be their younger sister. but it's all for the gram, so totally justified. their children's health is not even an afterthought in terms of their priorities.
