As title says really, I work very hard to ensure my son has a very healthy diet, everything he has is homegrown and homemade, I don't add sugars or salt or fats and cook everything as healthily as possible.
My son has been on the 99.6th percentile since about 10 weeks, he was breastfed until 5 1/2 mths and started solids around the same time. He is now 8mths and at todays weigh in (he is weighed once a month) he has shot off the chart weighing in at 26lbs11oz. He is also very tall, on the 95th percentile.
this is a normal days feeding (well todays actually!):
Wake up - 5-6oz milk
Breakfast - weetabix (normally eats 3/4-1 weekabix)
11am - approx 3oz milk
12.30pm - chicken, broccoli and leek in a mild cheese sauce
3pm - milk approx 3 oz
5.30pm - dinner - fish pie (cod, peas and sweet potatoe topping)
7pm - milk approx 5 oz
He never really seems completely full, and is baby led weaned which he loves.
He is a very, very happy content little boy, sleeps well, developmentally doing well, etc. I am just worried about how big he is - we are already in 18-24mth clothing as he is so long!
Any advice or similar experiences welcomed!
