After lost of ongoing wheezy problems and a rude call from health visitor to say son was fat (wasn't the info that he was fat that was rude more the tone - but that has been the subject of another thread where I was duly told, not unreasonably, to get over mysefl) we have checked his weight and at six months one week he is 27lb on home scales. That puts him right off the chart.
He is top centile for height so is clearly big generally.
We will talk to the health visitor for advice too but how the heck did a mainly breast fed baby who we have only just (this week) started weaning get so big?
Any tips on how to help him lose it? We know there are long term links to obesity but are there any immediate risks?
Never had this with other three (indeed other DS at 22 months is dropping down the centiles at rate of knots which is also a concern!)
Help!!
