ilovemylittleprince - 909 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well hes being breastfed which is better than formula because they stop when they are hungry and the breast only can produce so much. my son is 4 months and weighs about 17lbs too. just be happy he is healthy :) my son was 5 weeks early and was almost 9lbs lol

nutnut - 909 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) what i meant was i wouldnt worry if he's overweight, not that he's overweight to begin with, but at this stage its more important he is eating, and gaining sufficient weight and growing accordingly. i would worry only if he were under weight or failing to thrive in any way. sorry i wasnt saying 17lb is over weight at all. babies come in all shapes and sizes and have growth spurts at different times =)

nutnut - 909 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i wouldnt worry about him being overweight right now. and its fine to give him just breast milk, nutricianally its all he needs atm. =)
