Oy parents who keep such a close eye on every single little ounce that went into their baby's mouth, used to bug me. Babies need what they need, growth spurts, energy levels, individual needs.....how can even a doctor dictate exactly how much is needed? And I bet the dr. never recommended what she said they did. A 10 month old is growing and learning at top speed; their brains are developing at an enormous rate. For that development to flourish, it needs healthy food, and enough of it for that particular child.

Giving her articles is a good start; feeding a baby according to their individual needs, brain development, that sort of thing. If she doesn't cooperate, I think I'd have to let her go due to the fussy child and her micro-managing. Babies, IMO, are best at letting you know what they need.
