It's okay: Many breast fed babies are a bit chubby. Don't start solids too early. Milk intake will eventually get lower and the baby will slim down when she starts walking. Don't feed the baby juices as these are empty calories with little nutritive value.

Being exclusively: breast-fed the first year is actually a protective factor against obesity, even in the babies who appear to reach "maximum density" by 4-5 months. Once you start solids, it's all about genetics + environment. Just wean to an open-mouth cup as close to a year as possible.
