I happened to be thumbing through Lawrence - Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medial Profession - after my last post and came across info for managing obesity in breastfed infants (4th edition, p. 384). Her recommendations are generally to be aware of feeding for hunger v. feeding for comforting other needs, have lots of closeness with infant outside of feeding times, exclusive breastfeeding for 4 - 6 mo., encourage infant movement. And, if excess growth continues, check milk for high fat content. Debi Barr
