Pretending to know stuff? Prader-Willi Syndrome in infants causes poor feeding skills and weight-gaining problems. Not til later in childhood does obesity set in.

Again, in infancy. Meaning under the age of one. 1-6 is when the weight gain begins. Very common to see overweight toddlers (this kids age) with PWS. Even if at this point they aren’t food seeking their low muscle mass (hypotonia) means weight gain. Perhaps you mean they don’t start excessive food seeking until later in childhood. That is true, but weight gain can begin very early.
