Hi
Baby Harvey will be 5 weeks on Sunday - fully breastfeed apart from the odd bottle of EBM or ocassionally formula every couple of days.
He was 8lb7oz when he was born and at his 4 week weigh in was 11lb 15oz - he has put on a pound a week for the last 3 weeks.
This made me happy, very proud that I had done it (breastfeeding) and put my mind at rest over my worries of milk quality
The last few days I have had LOTS of comments when they ask me how much he weighs and say I must be overfeeding him or they say things about him being big but in a bad way IYKWIM
Just wanted to check that this isnt the case!
He is long and doesnt look too fat at all - he has cute chubby cheeks and a little double chin and is gorgeous (not biased honest)
Just needing a little reassurance as today I have had one too many comment like this and the old hormones are making me wonder LOL
