hi there, well done I don;t think BF babies can ever be over-weight. the content of it is so natural and in the long run - BF bb dun get obese.

what is her birth weight? normal for bb to double their weight within 3 mths. also was chloe born a 'big' bb?

if ur PD is okay, be happy

It is actually possible for breastfeed baby to be overweight. My baby 5 weeks old already 5.5kg. Pediatrican says she already overweight. Was born 3.48kg...

What to do..she keeps wanting to drink...

hi!

is chloe's weight/height/head circumference within the same percentile? if so, then she is proportionate.
my boy has always been in the 97th percentile, and he has been totally breastfed, direct latch on since birth. he is 7mths 2wks now, and is slowly leaning out, as he is very active, crawling, rolling and flipping etc.

my boy was 8kg at 3mths, 10.1kg at 7mths.....he is big...and i do sometimes worry/feel bad/defensive when people comment or appear shocked at his size/age, so i know how you feel. but do not let this jeopardize the wonderful job you are doing of breastfeeding chloe. if a doctor suggests lessening chloe's breastmilk intake, seek a second opinion from a pro-breastfeeding doctor.

my pediatrician says breastfeed baby won't be overweight.. my boy's weight is always 97th percentile.. he put on 1-1.5kg every month.. now he weigh 11.5kg.. though his weight gain should slow down by now my doctor still say not to worry and ask me to continue breastfeeding. sometimes genes plays a part, me and hubby abit taller than average so it's not surprising our boy bigger than average too.

So envious of those weights!!! Quan is almost fully breastfed and he is only 6.8 kg at 5 months old.

Hi all
Sorry for late reply. Chloe birth weight was 3.205. Last week just bought her for vaccination luckily her weight did not increase much (7.880kg). Weight 97%, head and length 75%. Doc say she is rather overweight, just need to monitor for next few mth. Chloe is on her 13th week, I'm just worried abt her lifting her head and also unable to flip due to her weight.
Overall she is a very happy baby, laugh when we talk to her. Her elder sister was not as big. She is 23mth weight 12kg.
