DD is 6.5 months, and been slowly introduced to solids for the past month. She is BF, but has 1 or 2 FF a week when DH or DM looks after her.
She was born just over the 50th centile, but grew very fast on exclusive BF in the first few weeks and reached the 98th centile and has stayed there ever since. We were a bit concerned at such rapid growth, but we were told that it was impossible to over-feed a BF baby. She was 91th centile head circ and 99th centile height at the 8 week check, so in proportion.
Now the GP is saying that she's too fat and is at risk for obesity when she's older . I've never forced solid food on her, she gets offered the food and only if she opens her mouth do we continue. I told him that she wouldn't drink water (we were there for her constipation), and he suggested adding something sweet to the water to get her to drink it. He thinks that she has too many milk feeds. I now offer 20% apple juice 80% water several times a day, but she refuses to drink it. She has a "disgusted" look on her face and purses her lips. I don't want to add any more as she now has 2 teeth coming through. She gets really upset (because she's thirsty I suppose) and in the end I give her BF, but I feel really guilty that I'm putting through this, and simultaneously guilty that my BM is making her fat!!!
Any suggestions?
