[quote=Anonymous][quote]Op here.

I will try to address all points brought up.

-I am a 24 hr nanny. The parents rarely ask or know what is going on. The mom comes home very late but still pumps enough milk at home and during the day and she leaves it in the fridge. 
- the doctor said as soon as he came in the room, "Larla is quite overweight. Just about obese. What's has she been eating?" 
I told him that the baby is breast milk fed but with a bottle. The doctor just continued saying how the baby is much too overweight and we shod consider removing 2 feedings per day so that she will thin out. 
- I know my opinion is invalid but I feel that once babies have a growth spurt and start moving more, they thin out naturally.

DId the doctor ask how much/many oz the baby was eating? Maybe there is a metabolic issue, too.

on another note, I can't imagine being gone all the time from my 2 month old with a 24 hour nanny (not knocking you, nanny--but when mine were that age, I barely left them for an hour or two. And I was nursing all the time. Can't imagine how much the mom is pumping). are both parents working 24/7? weird. [/quote]
