Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thank you all who responded to my original pot about feeding my 8 month old. I should have included that I don not wish to wean him and am completely content with breastfeeding him. My intent is to breastfeed him for 2 years. It is my doctor who is pressuring me to give him solid food. It started at 4 months and I waited until 8 months. I started now because he seems to be extra hungry and was not sleeping through the night. His doctor says he should be doing this by now and I need to give him more food. Avocados seem to be helping with him sleeping through the night. At this point I just switched doctors, and this new one I just met last week is telling me, he is still too small. They want to put him through a battery of tests. Mentally, he's quite advance and has tons of energy and looks perfect to me. I think doctors are use to chubby babies which he is not. Oddly, he has muscle tone and is extremely strong. No fat on him. But the harassment continues. The nurse there who breastfeeds her son as well, told me just get him up a couple pounds to shut them up. I'm still looking for a natural holistic doctor for him. If anyone knows one, please let me know. Thank You! ______________________________\ ____ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
