My 8 month old DD is on the 98th centile for weight and height, but my HV said on friday that she is overweight and I need to cut her daily formula intake in half.
I've just been going by the guidelines set out everywhere, her typical day was as follows:
07.30 1-2ozs milk cereal made up with small amount of milk + fruit
10.30 3-4ozs milk
12.30 home cooked meal/finger foods + yogurt
14.30 3-4ozs milk
16.30 home cooked meal + fruit
18.30 8ozs milk
I've been using the guide in the AK weaning book, and trying to make sure DD has 1 pint of milk a day (I know dairy foods can count in this). It just feels wrong to cut her daytime milk snacks out as I know she gets vitamins and minerals from it.
Anyone else have a similar problem? I don't think my baby is overweight.
