Hi Ilene,

Baby is too fat---stop breastfeeding.  Baby is not gaining enough-- 
stop breastfeeding.  How can breastfeeding be possibly to blame for  
both these situations?!

All my babies just were about triple their birth weight by 6  
months----they plateau here--and maybe gained a few more pounds by  
the time they were one year.

One doctor told me to start feeding my son solids at 4 months to slow  
his growth.  Now, exactly how does that work?!  I just smiled and of  
course did not do as suggested.  I was visiting my mom for a few  
months and seeing a new doctor at the time.  Btw, my children's  
regular doctors never had issue with their weight.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Gloria Thai, Va. USA
