[quote=Anonymous]Don't worry about weight at this age, and don't cut back. There's an internal mechanism of some sort that helps us recognize our satiety point, and messing with food by withholding or forcing it is going to mess that up....perhaps permanently. Let your baby eat when hungry, on demand. My pedi said it's our job to offer healthy foods often throughout the day, and our baby's job to determine how much s/he wants to eat. My son is now four and has been in the same day care for those four years. There were three babies that have stayed in class with him since infancy, and who were HUGE. Beyond chubby, as if they had a real health issue. All three have slimmed down into very slim 4 year olds. Some babies just have extra pudge on them. It will even out over time. [/quote]
