79% of under-4s fed over-sized portions, poll finds

Parents are being warned not to over-feed their children after research found around one in 10 regularly serves up adult-sized portions of popular meals.

The poll of 1,000 parents also found that 79% of children aged one to four are often given more than the recommended portion size for their age.

The Infant and Toddler Forum (ITF), which commissioned the research, is warning that parents are increasing the chances their children will become obese.
