Background: After several decades of increasing prevalence, recent evidence suggests a levelling of obesity rates in some groups, although little is known about trends in children under 5 years of age.

Methods: Child anthropometric and demographic data were extracted from records of routine maternal and child health consultations for children aged 2 and 3.
