Over weight baby

You can give her any stage one baby food some bread and potatoes. My son eats a lot and he is 5 months and 16lbs he eats small amounts of baby food to help with his hunger. We started with apples then bananas.

Keep with fresh veggies and fruits you puree yourself and get her moving and all will be fine!

Honestly, she is just a baby and there is no reason at all that you should be concerned about her weight at this point in time. There are some children that go through the first year of their life and remain very small while there are other children that get very big during the first year of their life. That said, I don't think that it is ever a good idea to put a very small child like your daughter on a diet. Try to limit how much formula she is given in the course of a day and that might be something that will keep her from gaining too much weight.

I don't think that you should do anything else except just to give your child nutritious food. Kids reach a certain month wherein you would notice that they have barely added a pound. Just start giving mashed fruits and vegetables and of course, milk. A child really does not weigh the same as what the standard weight that doctor says. Dieting can be done when your kid grows older. Just do not over feed your child so that you would get problems in the weight later on. But for now, the weight is fine. She is only 6 months, after all.

Since she seems to be eating healthy foods, make sure she is not eating too much. Maybe her dad is making her bigger bottles of formula or is expecting her to finish a bottle every time she eats? When she cries, try to everything else to soothe her before assuming it is hunger. If nothing else works, then feed her something nourishing. And solid food may be a good idea. Liquid may not be making her feel full, so then she will take in too much liquid to compensate. Stay away from juice--it is all the sugar of fruit with none of the fibre. Any fruit should be pureed, and try to feed her mostly pureed vegetables, very little fruit and very little potatoes. She will grow into her weight if what she eats is healthy, and she doesn't eat when she isn't hungry. If this plan doesn't work, maybe she should be tested in case she has a medical condition causing the weight gain. But it is probably nothing. Lots of kids gain no weight for months, then gain a whole bunch at once and get chubby, then even out again!
