Hungry baby
« on: February 06, 2006, 03:26:29 am »
Hi,
My little boy is coming up to 6 months, he has been on solids since 11 weeks, as advised by my doctor. he has no problem with eating he loves his food, im just a bit worried as he seems to eat so much. he currently takes around 25 ounces of formula, which is hungry baby stuff. plus breakfast, lunch and dinner. somedays he has a snack too. He isnt fat at all,  he weighs quite  a bit but he is very long. should I be worried about the amount he is eating? He sleeps 12-13 hours through the night so thats good, I just dont want him to have a weight problem

Thanks for your help
Bev

I don't think at this young age they can have a weight problem.  Once he starts moving a lot more he'll burn off a lot.  He doesn't look at all big in that picture - he looks great!
He's obviously happy.

I don't think you have anything to worry about either. Sounds like he's just a big guy, and he will need more calories to support that.
