He's only in the 25th for weight but looks nice and solid to me. He is 75th for height though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2662054 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 13:44:13 +0000 sugarpea 2662054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 7.5 months too and he's 26lbs and 31" - he's 100th percentile for both so definitely big :silly: He just looks really solid though and older, not chunky. Some of his 24 month stuff is getting small on him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661857 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 08:59:38 +0000 ValentineMommy 2661857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just looks like a solid little boy to me!</p> <p>I just looked back at my records for 7.5m:<br /> DS1 was 20.12 lbs and 30.5" long.<br /> DS2 was 23 lbs and 29" long.</p> <p>DS1 is now almost 4. He's 36lbs and 41" tall.<br /> DS2 is now 16m. He's 27 lbs and 33.25" tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661836 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 07:11:11 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2661836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: Sounds like the growth tends to slow at some point. Same here with the feet- they are massive! The store where I get most of his clothes is overseas and I am tempted to buy booties from them, but since his feet are big (fat) I am worried they won't fit and shipping them back will be $$$. </p> <p>@Cherrybee: thanks! It must be his tall bones adding so much weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661817 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 02:44:20 +0000 Cherrybee 2661817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: He doesn't look chunky at all to me, but he does look long. He's going to be tall! He's so cute, too! </p> <p>S is almost 8 months and weighs 19lb. She's a giant compared to her big sister - she's wearing clothes I can distinctly remember E running about in! We joke that she's going to be an Amazon! She looks perfectly in proportion for a baby, just big! Mind, E was under 6lb at birth (39wks) and is a skinny Minnie now, so my perspective is all off. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661807 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 01:41:53 +0000 autumnlove 2661807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 16 months and about 18 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661793 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:11:21 +0000 Portboston 2661793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At his 6 mo appointment he was 28.5in (98%) and 18lbs 8oz (68%). Now he's 16 mo and at his last well visit (15 mo) he was 32.68in (93%) and 25lbs 4oz (83%). Even though he's on the larger side, he always fits into the proper clothing size. But most of his clothes are Zara and they seem to run a bit big.<br /> Your babe doesn't look huge! I always say my LO is all muscle because even though he's on the bigger side, he doesn't look chunky at all.</p> <p>Does your guy have big feet? My LO has enormous feet. The shoe sizing lady at stride rite told me that babies who are solid like him tend to have big feet and their feet don't really get thinner until school age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661762 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 20:51:30 +0000 Alba4 2661762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 5.5 months old and a total chunk. He weighed 19lbs at 4 months, so I'm guessing he'll be well over 20 at his 6 month appointment in a few weeks. He is wearing 12 month clothing, but some brands run too small and don't fit over his thighs. He's in the mid-high 90s percentile in height and weight. He's just a solid kid. I love chunky babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661740 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 19:52:36 +0000 Canoli 2661740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At his 6 month visit he was 29.5 inches and a little over 19 pounds! I used to think he was chunky but he's just sooooo tall! I will probably be moving him to 12 month clothing very very soon because everything is looking to small. His 12 month PJ's are just about too small also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661732 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 19:36:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2661732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies for the compliments and some perspective. Everyday it seems like he gets bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661730 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 19:27:40 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2661730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I agree he looks pretty average and is so cute!! T is 15 months and about 27 lbs, 30 inches tall. He is definitely short and chunky! O is 13 months, just hit 20 lbs and 28.5 inches. She's very petite but is now starting to get a little belly and is back on the growth charts! They are SO different but both well within normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661727 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 19:08:43 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2661727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: he's so so cute! He doesn't look that big to me at all. I have seen both sides of the baby size scale in friends' kiddos and he looks average to me. This is also coming from someone who has a just over 19 pound 13.5 month old! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661708 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:53:21 +0000 bees_knees 2661708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 is 5 months and 20 lbs 😳 He is so roly poly and his cheeks are SO pinchable. He just moved into size 12 mo clothing and is wearing some things that DS1 wore at 15+ months 😂 And DS1 is/was not puny. Just built differently I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661694 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:04:06 +0000 mamabolt 2661694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's so adorable! My DS is 8 mo and is 19.2 lbs and 27 in, so pretty similar and middle of the road for their age I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661610 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:44:18 +0000 Dahlia 2661610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 17 months and is 32.5 inches and 25 pounds, which I think puts her in the 75-80%? I think she looks chunky - she's got a little pot belly and some rolls. She was a preemie and has been skinny for most of her life, so it's a little surprising to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661601 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:34:40 +0000 agold 2661601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: He's adorable and I think he looks perfect!! Not even overly chunky at all. But oh my gosh do I love a chunky baby! </p> <p>My girl is 3.5 months. I don't know how much she weighs but she was 12 pounds at her 2 month appointment and I'd guess she is close to 14 now. Her thighs are amazingly chunky and she has a roll in both her wrists! I call her my preciously plump golden nugget! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661526 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:40:42 +0000 psw27 2661526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How cute is your LO!? Your LO sounds like my LO. He feels solid but doesn't look overly chunky. His chubby cheeks are gone now but he's still a solid boy at 2 yr 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661501 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:16:53 +0000 skinnycow 2661501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 20-21 lbs and about 29 inches. She's heavy but she's in the 99th percentile for height so she doesn't look chunky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661486 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:04:13 +0000 travellingbee 2661486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 26 pounds at 11 months. He's not gained much weight in the past couple of months. They slow down so much when they start moving!! Last they measured him I think he was around 29inches. He's pretty big. Above the 90th percentile for height and weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661475 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:59:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2661475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl was/is never chunky! She was more or less 50% for weight/height through her first year of life, and currently she's on the short side (but I'm short), and decent weight I guess! I don't really pay attention; our doctor always said she's growing right on her curve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661467 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:48:40 +0000 mrsjd 2661467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 week old is about 15.5 lbs (we go for our appt tomorrow) and is in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. She is about to outgrow the length on the clothes and diapers are starting to leak. :shocked:</p> <p>ETA: she was 90th percentile across the board at 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661463 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:42:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2661463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: LO lives in Bonds. </p> <p><a href="https://www.bonds.com.au/baby/clothing/leggings.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.bonds.com.au/baby/clothing/leggings.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661458 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:36:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2661458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: @pwnstar: thanks! @ShootingStar: I know what you mean about the belly. He needed more fabric to cover his belly and chest, which was the primary reason I put him in 9-12 mos onesies. Sitting up was fine, but as soon as he was on his tummy he was nothing but chest. His pants are sized 6-12 mos and still fit right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661456 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:33:06 +0000 MamaG 2661456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grow big kids so for me he looks perfectly normal. I've learned after 5 years not to let scales bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661455 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:30:35 +0000 MrsSCB 2661455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I don't think he looks chunky, I think he looks pretty average! And SO adorable. PS: Where are those tiger pants from?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661453 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:27:28 +0000 ShootingStar 2661453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He looks pretty average to me. I found with DS that he tends to grow out, and then up. So he'll get a big pot belly, and then he'll start to get longer and the belly will disappear. I think if they're in the size for their age (so at 7.5m if he's in 6-9m clothes) then they're average. </p> <p>DD right now is almost 4m and probably around 14 pounds. She's pushing the limits of 0-3m clothes length-wise, but 3-6m stuff is pretty loose on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661443 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:20:43 +0000 pwnstar 2661443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Your baby looks perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661437 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:13:28 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2661437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: argh I love him! He's so cute. He looks average size! My baby was and is huge! 30lbs by 1, 25 lbs at 6m. 99%ile across the board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661432 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:09:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2661432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I can't stand it and the replies aren't helping me figure this out. :bummed: :silly: At daycare he's pretty much in a room of similar sized babies- mostly boys. One appears to be lankier than him, but he's 3-4 months older. One other boy baby is big, but his parents are giants. Anyway, is my baby chunky? Two pics to get a feel for his size. </p> [attach=3033/16/ohpzji.600x600.image.jpeg] [attach=3033/16/ohpzjk.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-your-babe#post-2661429 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:01:43 +0000 MrsRoo 2661429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Team chunky baby over here. 7.5 months old and 19.5 lbs at a sick visit last week. I'm not sure of her height, but at her 6 month check up she was in the 86th percentile. Her daycare teachers call her marshmallow. </p>
