Just had my 12wo EBF son weighed. He is 15.12 and has now crossed into the 91st centile (was on the 50th at birth). He consistently puts on between 11-14 oz a week. HV pulled a worried face and told me to 'keep an eye on his weight' and to stop feeding him as often. She advised me to try and distract him when he wants food, to space out his feeds more. I have been feeding on demand (just like she bloody told me to) and he eats every 2-3hrs, sometimes (a bit) longer at night. HV hasn't measured his length - I tried to at home but wasn't very exact. Think he is in or around 91st centile for length too. So now im worried I'm over feeding the little chubster. Should I be or is HV just giving the standard response to the fact he crossed 2 centile lines?
