A BF toddler who's too big??  And therefore should BF less????

Oh, pleeeeease, spare me.....
I heard that line of nonsense 25 years ago when my 6-month old was on the
95%ile for height and weight. (her daddy is a large man - go figure!)

Stupid advice then, even stupider (is that a word?) now when the health
community (presumably) has more research and information on BF. That's what
growth curves are for. Somebody's got to be on the highest and lowest
curves. We worry when kids drastically change curves. They can't all be
"average."

Suggest she get a second opinion from someone who can read.... Professional
journals, that is.
