A member asked:
My 4 month old baby is in 65th percentile for length and 95th percentile for weight. is he considered very fat? how can i help him? he's bottle fed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal Percentiles: Your baby's reported percentiles are within the normal range. Caloric restriction is neither necessary nor advisable. At this age, your baby should be feeding on demand and allowed to feed until satisfied. As long as growth continues along normal percentiles, baby is showing normal development, and is seeing the doctor at the recommended well-baby visits, there is no cause for concern.
