So my son was weighed today an at 19+2 he is 19lb!
He is not fat, he has normal baby fat on his body, but yes - he is very big. Was only 7.7 at birth. Grew - literally at a rate of knots.
Currently drinks 6x7oz bottles, but they told me to give 5x6oz bottles and water to bridge the gap.
At 3 months when he was on 6x6oz anyway, he wanted more, but i didnt want to give him any - so as to avoid him getting too big, so gave a spoon of rice with his bottle to see if it would get him to feel more full as it would have a little substance in his belly, but it didnt really work, so i held out on the 6x6oz bots till 4 months then upped him to 6x7oz - still NOT weaning yet.
The HV said she doesnt like advising this, but said perhaps i should try hungry baby milk.
Anyone got any advice?
What do you think about them cutting his milk?
