AT 11kg, one-year-old Gordon Gooi (above) is heavier than 90 per cent of babies his age. He drinks close to a litre of breast milk every day, on top of three main meals. Here's his daily diet:

6am: Milk, 180ml

9am: Milk, 80ml

9.30am: Breakfast of mashed potatoes, carrots and spinach; half an avocado for dessert

10.30am: Milk, 150ml

1pm: A bowl of porridge mixed with tofu, vegetables and egg yolk; fruit for dessert

2.30pm: Milk, 200ml

6pm: A bowl of chicken porridge

8.30pm: Milk, 250ml

Nutritionist Pauline Chan, who recently co-authored a book on baby food titled First Foods, feels Gordon is overfed.

She approves of his three main meals but thinks that he should be drinking less milk. 'He drinks too much milk for a baby who is already eating three full meals a day. He can take his milk two or three times a day but not more than that.'

Ms Chan says Gordon could be asking for so much milk because he is not getting enough solid food. She suggests that Gordon be given snacks such as steamed sweet potatoes and French toast in between meals.

Gordon's mother, Ms Liz Lim, 31, says she gives him more milk because breast milk looks 'watery' and she is worried it is not 'filling'.

'Maybe I'll give him less when he switches to formula milk next year,' she says.
