<<Can someone share any information on obese, exclusively breastfed babies.>>

One afternoon a couple of years ago, at my littlest ones' T-Ball game, I
noticed a very pudgie baby. Trying to act casual, I finally got around to
asking about the baby's feeding type. Exclusively BF almost 6 week old weighed
17 lbs. Mother related that baby fed regularly every 2-3 hrs during the day,
less at night. The mother was very amenable to my taking a picture of her
baby, so next game I brought my camera with slide film. I have seen this kido
off and on since then - perfectly normal and not at all overweight looking.
