She's 2 now and is thinned out but still a shorty. Se hated the comments, but you know what you are able to provide for your son, be proud of that! </p> <p>I can relate with opposite way I always got "wow she's so small, don't you feed her? My repsonse was "yes we do, and we spend a lot of money on special formula to make sure she gets what she needs, she's a petite kid with medical problems." And it usually shut them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby/page/2#post-1297504 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:01:26 +0000 erwoo 1297504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, just ignore people and let them talk or whatever it is that they do. Enjoy the chub!!! My youngest was bigger and taller than his big brother and I have a picture that looks like he's obese b/c he has a triple chin (he was pushing his chin in on purpose) but I love it anyway b/c he has really soft nummy chub! :D He's slowing down but is still in the 90 something percent in weight at his 19 months (one month late!) check up. He's 31 lbs at 21 months and his 4.5 y.o. brother is 36 lbs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1297494 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:58:03 +0000 jh524 1297494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: I understand. My boy is quite big for weight and his height isn't matching up yet. I hope he slows down soon but it seems like he keeps getting bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1297488 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:56:39 +0000 jh524 1297488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: yeah, I need a bigger carrier now! My infantino baby carrier is way too small for him now! Wow is right, he's huge. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1295275 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 23:46:37 +0000 shopaholic 1295275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: Wow! Just baby-wear in a carrier or always use a stroller as much as possible? That's what I have to do anyway even for my petite girl because of my hand problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1295269 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 23:37:39 +0000 NurseMommy 1295269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get worried because my baby is short and chubby. She's 8th percentile for height and 50th for weight. I try try try try not to stress about it but since I have weight issues it's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1295257 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 23:24:30 +0000 lulibee 1295257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a mom to a skinny babe. At 6 months, he was 14lb 15oz and 27". I still think he's the cutest baby ever! He eats pretty well most of the time - it just doesn't stick on him I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1295244 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 23:13:29 +0000 jh524 1295244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update to this thread...</p> <p>He's almost 6months old and weighs 24.5 lbs and 27 inches long. I cannot carry him in his car seat anymore. It's way too heavy ! I need suggestions!!! </p> <p>He is EBF and very proportionate, already rolling over both ways, very active. Just huge... How do I carry this big boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176475 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 21:36:54 +0000 jh524 1176475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: lol I like that idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176243 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:22:08 +0000 Anagram 1176243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I need to see proof!!! Pics!! (I just love pics of all chubby babies).</p> <p>Wait, can we have an entire thread for pics of all your chubby babies?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176062 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:43:33 +0000 jh524 1176062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: nursing five times a day is so nice...I remember like it was yesterday when he was nursing ten times a day and woohoo am I happy those days are done. Although I still loved it;five times is so manageable. I think it's because he doesn't wake in the night for a feeding...my "cream" as I call it, curbs his hunger until morning.....And I'm thankful for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176050 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:35:13 +0000 ALV91711 1176050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandma always says I must be producing cream, since DS has always been chunky. 7 months later and he's not really mobile, but still chunky. </p> <p>I wish we only nursed 5 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176032 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:09:20 +0000 jh524 1176032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Your right, I shouldn't have said that. Thin babies are cute too!!<br /> @MoonMoon: I know! He outgrowing his clothes before I can even get them on him!<br /> @Corduroy: aww...i wasn't too chubby as a baby but it seems like all the boys have been chubby babies in our family. :)<br /> @sarac: thank you, very sweet! Skinny or Chubby...babies are adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1176003 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 12:24:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 1176003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: "they really are so much cuter than thin babies.....that sounds rude..." Yeah, that's rude. I'm one of the moms with a thin baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175874 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 09:40:42 +0000 emg86 1175874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh....ugh....people! </p> <p>Your baby is perfectly fine :-) You make some rich milk! </p> <p>People complain when babies are too chubby &amp; complain if they look to thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175822 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:44:06 +0000 yerpie110 1175822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: thx!! yours is a cutie too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175781 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:51:45 +0000 MoonMoon 1175781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds similar to my boy! He is 20 weeks old, EBF, and weighs over 18 lbs and is over 25” tall. I do get tired of the constant comments about baby bodies, but I just try to enjoy my healthy guy. The only downside is how fast he grows out of clothes, but even that is evening out now. Your baby sounds adorable and healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175771 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:29:37 +0000 Corduroy 1175771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I was a chubby breastfed baby. I had no interest in crawling or walking so I became a ridiculously chubby toddler. It all evened out when I weaned around 18 months. The only lasting effect is the shocked reaction I get when people see my baby pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175764 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:20:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1175764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo was jumbo sized until she became mobile. I miss the rolls! She's still super tall but only 80% in weight now. We had a lot of the same comments but I felt OK about it knowing it was healthier for her to have weight to spare rather than be scrawny.<br /> Even being mom to a jumbo baby I'm still surprised when I see huge babies. I met a 28# 33" nine month old this week. Totally healthy, just big. Turns out his dad is 6'11". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175712 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 03:40:17 +0000 illumina 1175712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 6wks and has so far been on the 9th centile for weight and height. She hasnt even reached the weight I was at birth yet. She has literally no chub whatsoever and people are often commenting how skinny she is and she must be starving etc. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175705 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 02:27:48 +0000 BabyMats 1175705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is ten weeks ebf and is 14lbs and 24 inches long. I get comments but I just call him my super baby! BM does amazing things. Chubby babies are awesome! Gotta love the rolls! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175672 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 00:01:07 +0000 sarac 1175672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I TOTALLY agree! I always wished that my skinny little baby would chub up. Never did, and it broke my heart! Also, my daughter didn't drop down to 5 feeds a day until she was 18 months old. I would have KILLED to have a 4 month old who nursed that little. I think I just make skim milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175671 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 00:00:17 +0000 sarac 1175671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of your babies are bigger than my 2 year old! She was (is!) breastfed, so it just goes to show that every baby is different. You CAN NOT overfeed a breastfed baby - they are perfectly able to eat as much as they need, and then stop. You made that baby, and you made him perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175623 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:32:41 +0000 googly-eyes 1175623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RubyCali: LOL @ "potent." My jaw would have dropped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175617 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:21:57 +0000 jh524 1175617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yerpie110: they really are so much cuter than thin babies.....that sounds rude but it's those chubby cheeks and rolls that are so scrumptious!!! Yeah, I'm getting bothered by the comments too but people's opinions don't mean much as long as he's healthy and my dr. Isn't concerned. You LO looks adorable in your avatar pic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175613 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:17:39 +0000 yerpie110 1175613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is a chubster! She is in the 90th percentile for weight, but more than that, she's always just had rolls upon rolls upon rolls. She's currently 9 months and her chunkiness is what i get the most questions/comments about! It still bothers me at times, but I try my best to ignore the comments and usually just say, 'yup, I love her rolls so much!' Cuz I do :) she's getting to be mobile and hasn't slimmed down much, but she's EBF and I figure she's still young. I may be biased, but I think fat babies are the cutest!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175610 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:16:08 +0000 jh524 1175610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RubyCali: lol. I know the feeling! "Whoa, look at the size of him!!! " I mean really??!! I wanted to say well look at the size of you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175609 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:14:01 +0000 jh524 1175609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: thank you! @googly-eyes: I know, people amaze me but it's been more family members to say anything than others. I am proud of him, he's perfect and chubby and oh so kissable.</p> <p>He's in 6 month clothes and I'm about to bust out some 9 month clothing....can't believe it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175608 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:12:11 +0000 RubyCali 1175608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry, my DD is super tall, super chunky, and EBF too! I hate the shocked looks and "Oh! Wow!" response I get every time someone asks me her age. One time at a family gathering my grandma announced that I must have "very potent breastmilk." Thanks, Grandma... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-baby-too-chubby#post-1175606 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:08:56 +0000 googly-eyes 1175606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those proportions sound fine to me! Not too chubby, overall a big baby, but that's awesome! I can't speak to whether or not you can overfeed a bf baby but I don't think you're overfeeding him based on those numbers! Be proud! We got "chubby" comments too and dd still has big cheeks although her body is much smaller. I don't know why people think it's ok to comment anything they like about babies just because they are young and little. I'm sure he's a perfect little guy! </p>
