Obesity in a breastfed baby?  Healthy baby girl born at term.  No complications with pregnancy.  No report of gestational diabetes in mother.  BW 10lbs 3 oz.  Breastfed exclusively until solids were introduced at 9 months of age

At 2 months of age she was 17.7lbs
At 8 months of age she was 30.3lbs
At 12 months of age she was 36.4lbs

Her height remained stable at 50-75 percent

She has met all milestones and is developmentally appropropriate.  No dysmorphic features.  Labs all normal including thyroid screen for hypothyroid.  Adrenal ultrasounds normal.  Has an appointment with a RD for appropriate complimentary foods.  Mother reports her other child was an "obese" baby as well and then thinned out as she grew.  Any other thoughts?
