At the pediatrician's office yesterday, the doctor said to be careful feeding my daughter too much as she may be a little on the overweight side. He said that it wasn't an issue now but that if we didn't "get it under control" now that we may have an overweight child. He said that compared to where she was born at that she may be getting too big too fast. My daughter was born exactly a week before her due date ... so earlier than some, but not pre-mature.
My 2 month old is 11lbs10oz and 22inches long. Her weight is in 73 percentile and her height in the 46th.
At 1 month, she was 9lbs8oz and 20.5inches. Weight was 60th percentile, height was 38th.
At birth, she was 7lbs6oz and 18.5inches. Weight was 45 percentile, heigh was 20th.
I feel weird limiting her feedings. I was told that babies will stop eating when they're not hungry. Should I restrict her food intake or is this a healthy growing pattern? This is my first baby. And I was a big baby when I was little
