[quote=Anonymous]I want to preface this by saying I value healthcare workers, and while I do trust that pediatricians have my child’s best interest at heart, I wonder if we would benefit from switching to another pediatrician. My son was born 12/12/21, weighing 6lbs 14oz and 20 inches. He was weighed on Friday, April 1, weighing 16lbs 12oz and 25.5 inches. The pediatrician has always told me at 1 month, 2 month, and now at 4 month that he is big for his age and gaining weight too fast. He was born on the small side, but he had gained almost 10lbs in 4 months. My husband is tall and the men on his side are all tall. My family’s side has tall and big men. I think it’s just genetics. We don’t over feed him. He is an active baby and a good sleeper. I’m tired of being told he is gaining too much weight too fast and that we need to cut feedings. Do we need to seek a new pediatrician or is this way too much weight gain? [/quote]
