To all your moms who are worried about weight issues. My doctor totally freaked me out since my db was around 5 % for awhile. I ebf up until 4 months but started to supplement, but I still managed to bf all the way up until now 8 months. I still nurse him in the morning. The point is that now he is 8 months and 19 lbs and very healthy. He has not been sick almost at all, I let the doctors and others stress me way too much. For a while everyone told me my db was small now the tell me he is big. So if that is the case with you, just ignore them - I should have done that. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op; Not the 2 year old but that 19 lbs are considered small for 8 months. I can also pork up my kid, but excess feeding as an infant creates more fat cells as adult. The main thing is that the kid is healthy and happy. [ Reply | More

But that is what I mean, why can't we just try and leave other people alone? I hate those mothers and people with all their well meaning comments. Now I have learned to ignore them. [ Reply | More

I'm sorry you went thru such stress. I'll say a public thank you to my parents for teaching me to smile and nod and do what I thought was best. BF for two years to a skinny minnie - but a happy healthy one! Smile, nod. [ Reply | More

my MIL from eastern europe thought my daughter was (she probably still does) too thin and wanted to fatten her up by giving her some eastern european delicacy of fried duck fat. At 2.2 years she 24 lbs and 36 inches. the pediatrician says she is healthy as do i. so now when MIL says anything i just thank her but know that what i am doing is good (it took awhile to get there though to let the comments just slide, but i realized how lucky i am that she lives overseas and not in the same city) [ Reply | More
