just an anecdote. I have a friend here who's child was similar. 50
lbs at two years of age. she looked 'obese'. most of her caloric
intake was from moms milk and she did still nurse at night. over time,
as mom encouraged her move toward foods with less breastfeeding and a
slow, gentle, loving nightweaning experience baby's weight did
normalize.
She's tall and sturdy at 4.5 (95th for height and weight) but not at all
chubby or chunky - not at *all*. Parents were veg when baby was
young, but now they all eat meat, fruit, veggies and very limited grain
products.
