In Reply to: 4 month baby overweight posted by hannah on December 05, 2002 at 19:28:28:
: Hi! My 4 month old baby is 25 inches and 18 lbs. My Doctor says that he is overweight and that I should feed him less often. My son drinks only about 24 ounces a day and sometimes even less, this has been the case since his 2nd month and he stills gains weight. What should I do? He has no appetite even after 4 or 5 hrs. I asked my Dr. abt this, but she is just concerned abt his weight. Could anything be wrong with him? Please help me. My 15 month old daughter and 4 month old son are the SAME weight with her only one inch taller. They are both about 19 lbs, and she is 28 in with him almost 27. All paries involved are pleased that my son is at this weight and height, as it is my daughter with the health problems who gets the worry at our house. Please be happy that you have a healthy baby boy, who although he falls at the big end of the scale is by no means unhealthily overweight. I hope you share this sentiment with your Dr.!!! JMO- Dr.s craete things to worry about sometimes, and I have dealt with more than my fair share lately.
