I spend so much time worrying about this.
DD (child no. 3) is an absolute porker. She is 8 months and weighs 24lbs.
She was small at birth and very ill in the early days. At 8 weeks she hadn't broken the 7lb barrier. It seems she has just gone ballistic since then.
On an average day she has:
Breakfast
5oz bottle in the morning
1 weetabix for breakfast
Lunch
Veggies (today she had cubed sweet potatoe, butternut and carrots and a block of watermelon which she fed herself)
Water
Mid afternoon
Wholewheat breadstick or fruit
Diluted apple juic
Dinner
Chicken with mixed veg (equivalent of a jar)
1/2 a Yoghurt
Bedtime
8oz milk
I don't think she's overfed, but I am starting to get paranoid about her weight. My DS's were the same, but as they were boys I somehow knew once they were walking that they would be fine.
24 lbs...
