Can someone share any information on obese, exclusively breastfed
babies. I am working with a mom who's 6 month old girl is 28 lbs.
Although the baby is otherwise healthy, the mother is concerned.
When I talked to her at her 4 month appointment (23 lbs 6 oz), she was
nursing from both breasts a total of 20-25 minutes, every 3 hours during
day and sleeping 9 hours a night. No solids or supplements had been
given.
Thanks for your help.
