Alba watches daughter's weight

Jessica Alba's young daughter was "chubby" as a baby after the actress unwittingly "overfed" her.

The Fantastic Four star welcomed her first child, daughter Honor, with her husband Cash Warren in 2008 but admits she was over-enthusiastic when it came to feeding the tot.

She tells America's Late Show with David Letterman, "(Honor was) overfed (as a baby). She weighed just as much at six months as she does now. She was really chubby."

Alba recently revealed her daughter now enjoys a healthy diet after the actress cut out sugar from her food: "She doesn't have sugar at all; she doesn't even have fruit juice.'"
