[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child psychiatrists at our hospital have started looking at behavioral interventions for kids who are overweight as well (we give a lot of drugs that cause weight gain).  They were looking at younger kids, but they found exactly the same thing.  Food restrictions didn’t work at all.  Therapy and cognitive interventions for kids and parents didn’t work.  Teaching parents new, healthy recipes didn’t work.  The only thing that worked was adding more fruits and veggies and increased exercise.  [/quote]

Wow so weird child psychiatrists would recommend then what is apparently horrible parenting, disordered thinking, and a cocktail for eating disorders, according to a couple commenters on this thread. [/quote]

Nope. Unless in explaining the diet they recommend avoiding grapes and bananas because they are fattening and call an eight pound baby fat. That’s the disordered part. You can’t possibly be this confused. [/quote]

Sorry where does OP call an 8 lb baby fat? I’ll wait [/quote]

The first sentence of her OP.  This is literally what she said:  “Our DD was always big. Born over 8 lbs, never left a drop of milk in a bottle, and ate well as soon as she started solids.“

I cannot believe you are still debating this.

Even OP admits she had disordered thinking, referring to having to overcome her “diet” mentality. [/quote]

Big doesn’t mean fat. It means big. It’s bizarre that you’re translating “big baby” to “I thought my baby was fat” and “I vaguely understood from pop culture that some fruits are too sugary to be healthy” as “disordered thinking.” You legitimately seem mentally unwell. [/quote]

PP, I hope you are able to get help for your problems.  At a minimum, please take a break from reading this thread.  Perhaps come back and re-read it next week with a clearer head.

My plane is delayed this morning, and I am entertaining myself by reading this thread.  I had a big baby... he was only 6.5 lbs at birth because he is a twin, but he weighed 22 lbs at 6 months and 30 lbs at 12 months.  He was a very big baby with a very big appetite![/quote]

What problems?  What help?  Why are you listing various weights during your baby’s lifetime?  And how the heck do you have those numbers memorized?  [/quote]
