How much is too much?!

[mermaid]

Everyone keeps saying that my LO is a 'big' baby,but he's only about 26lbs at 12 months! I think that's about average?

I am worried about how much he breast feeds still ( 5-6 times in day and once during night) and I can't seem to give him enough snacks in the afternoon! He is a boobie monster

I guess I am just worried he eats too much and wanted your advice if your LO's are a similar age xxx

DS is 23lb and nearly 11 months (he hasn't put on much weight for 2 months now, under 1lb), so I wouldn't say that your DS is really huge tbh, like you said it seems about average. He doesn't breastfeed as much though, only 3-4 breastfeeds per 24 hours and 1 bottle of either ebm or formula.

DS doesn't snack either during the day, he might have some pear or raisins but that's about it. He tends to have boob at 5am, breakfast about 7.30-8 (one weetabix or a bowl of porridge, maybe a bit of toast though he's not great with finger foods and a yoghurt), he'll boob feed about 10am, lunch at 12-12.30 (normally a good bowl of veggies and meat or pasta followed by yoghurt or custard), breastfeed at 2-3pm then tea at 5pm (similar to lunch) and a bottle at 7pm.

Nathan is 1 on Sunday and he weighs 25lb 2oz and hes not fat or anything. He has 3 bottles of milk a day still, one at 7am, one at 3pm and a full bottle at 7pm. I can't cut the afternoon bottle out yet cos I can't get him to drink anything other than milk.
