I've just come back from getting my lovely DS weighed. I hardly ever do it because he's clearly healthy and my GP said don't bother. So I know I shouldn't let myself get het up about the HV's comments, but...
DS is exactly 6 months, 20lbs, on the 91st for height and weight. He has been tracking this line since 10 weeks old, and is perfectly in proportion - he looks quite trim in fact. He wears 12 month trousers and 9 month tops, but who cares? men in his family are anything up to 6'5" so it's hardly surprising if he's tall.
We're weaning, so I asked a few general questions - like he's dropping milk feeds very quickly, and is that normal - and the HV said that in her opinion he would benefit from only being fed the minimum for a few months to try and curtail his growth.
Who wants to stop their baby growing?? 
If he was five and a right porker then fair enough, but he's six months old! Surely growing is what he's meant to be doing right now. I only ever give him fruit, yoghurt and veg with chicken/fish. Never sugar or snacks. Grrr.
Tell me I'm not mad - surely putting my baby on a diet right now would be mental?? It sounds cruel actually, she implied I should wait until he is blue in the face screaming for food before I feed him. :(
for the record, he has the following every day:
5oz milk, fromage frais
5oz milk, veg/meat puree (small homemade pot)
5oz milk, fruit puree (half a size one weaning jar, so small portion).
then 5oz bottle before bed.
He often leaves milk, so I know I'm not overfeeding him. Right? hate how i get into self-doubt when someone is critical!
