I love my chunky baby but I don't "brag" about it unless people make comments on how big he is, then I proudly say "big and healthy" or something similar... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634674 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:08:14 +0000 Ash 634674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( awe!

I love chunky babies and I always wish my LO was chunkier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634549 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:42:09 +0000 mrsmenow 634549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: My LO is the only one of my 3 girls that has had leg rolls, the other two were so scrawny, and I love them!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634544 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:41:25 +0000 mrsmenow 634544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really tall skinny baby (my oldest) and I felt like people always commented on it as a negative thing. Maybe she is just compensating because of those types of remarks, I really hope that is the case. It would be sad for her little girl if it isn't:(</p> <p>As mothers I think sometimes we forget that how we treat ourselves is often observed by little and observant eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634535 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:38:34 +0000 HLK208 634535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that is really sad. I love chunky babies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634531 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:38:12 +0000 twinmama 634531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>woah! not cool. it's amazing how people are judgy of babies weight and shape so young!</p> <p>my aunt actually commented months ago that my dd might not roll over until she 'loses some weight'. AHHHHHH. (this is the child who was less than 5 lb at hospital discharge!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634517 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:36:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 634517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evesdropping-on-my-coworker#post-634456 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:25:24 +0000 LaughLines 634456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my coworkers keeps talking about how tall and slim her baby is (she's only 5 months old!) as if being skinny is a compliment for a baby. This is not a one time comment, and she's not just saying it descriptively, more like she's very proud her daughter is skinny vs. being a "chunky" baby. She also is quick to note that she herself is 10 pounds below her pre-pregnancy weight. </p> <p>I don't know where this baby is on weight charts, but I feel like this mom is already projecting the need to be skinny onto a tiny tiny baby. I hope she doesn't end up with weight issues as she gets older! </p>
