People are always telling me that my baby is too big, so I did some research on it and I thought you might want to see: <BR/><BR/>Baby Fat<BR/><BR/>Don't be concerned if your baby is chubby; he or she is supposed to be that way. At this point in their lives, babies have a much higher percentage of body fat than they will later in life, and this is completely normal and healthy. They need larger amounts of calories, fat, and cholesterol to meet their high energy demands and for proper nerve-cell development. Children usually grow into their bodies and lose their "baby fat" over time. Never put your child on a diet without consulting your pediatrician. Children on low-fat diets (less than 30 percent of calories consumed as fat) fail to get the recommended dietary allowances of vitamins B12, E, thiamin and niacin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694978556576679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837269424495999920.post-58690421764831015562008-07-16T05:40:00.000-07:002008-07-16T05:40:00.000-07:00That's so awesome that they want to feed themselve...That's so awesome that they want to feed themselves. They are way ahead of my son who is almost 11 months! David won't feed himself and he won't eat anything that is chunky. Even with chunky baby foods, he will spit out the big chunks! I don't know what to do about it! (and he has almost 6 teeth now)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694978556576679966noreply@blogger.com
