I don't like that formula

I get wic for my baby so he eats Gerber Good Start. I've seen all my friends kids on the formula and they are HUGE. I really don't want my baby on this formula for many reasons...2 of those reasons will be that he will get freakishly huge an the other is that he will be too heavy for me to carry. I decided that next time I go to the doctor I will tell them that he spits up all his food an acts miserable when he eats it. I've been giving him just enough to feed him but not so he is full so that he don't gain a lot of weight. Maybe they will put him on that special expensive formula.

Omg people his brain will be fine. I didn't say I wouldn't feed him. Just feeding him enough to get by so that the doctor will think he's not gaining enough.

Not all formula fed babies are huge. I exclusively breastfeed my five month old daughter and she's a major chunker!

My beautiful BREASTFED baby is 27 pounds. He is 11 months old. Should I have not nursed him in fear of having a fat baby?

You cannot be serious. Babies grow. He needs the nutrition, regardless Of the brand. FEED your baby the correct amount he needs!!!

He's gonna gain weight regardless of what type of formula you give him. Also not allowing him to eat and get full is just wrong.

Yea i had no problem with the gerber formula. If you have a problem with it then you should by the expensive stuff yourself, not lie to your doctor
