I don't think you are feeding her too much at all - Gabe has a similar amount except he has a rusk as a snack too.
Ignore the HV, mine is always saying how big Gabe is, its very annoying, as he's healthy & I'd rather have a big baby than a small one cos I know loads of mums who worry about their child's weight.
Amy will slow down anyway - Gabe has only put on about 7oz in 3 weeks now x
when i was little i eat like a horse and was tiny, i ate wice as much as the biggest girl in my class and i was tiny and she was a monster compared to me.
Personally i only take my lo to get weighed now, if i need advice i usually come on here lol. i daren't tell her i've started weaning my lo overwise she definately wont be happy with me.
Its so awful when u feel u can't go back to your hv, after all they are meant to offer advice and support, not question everything we do and make us worry for no reason. All they care about are stupid guidelines x
Hence I havent taken Tommy to be weighed for since he was 17 wks (he is now 24) because I know he is healthy and will not have a woman who doesnt know him tell me otherwise!
you do what feels right for you, what do they want you to do..start starving her??!!
you wouldnt think it to look at them now, they were a little chubby in places as babies but as soon as they started to move about the chunnyness vanished. my daughter look so small now all her clothes hang off her x
With all due respect they want to be focussing there attention on these poor babies who are not being looked after like Baby P and stop stressing us other mums out who are bringing up healthy happy babies
nuff said!
thanks again xxxx
