There was only about a week or two that she really had that "wrinkly" baby look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621854 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:09:25 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1621854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sturdy!

I'm glad you posted this because I have wondered what people were talking about when they say "squishy newborn" -- we never experienced that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621789 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:49:18 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1621789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sturdy! She was lifting her head within days of being born and was supporting her weight with her legs at 3 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621780 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:46:17 +0000 MrsKoala 1621780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sturdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621766 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:40:37 +0000 kjpugs 1621766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sturdy and STUBBORN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621712 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:24:32 +0000 illumina 1621712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very sturdy...at a couple of weeks old she was holding her head up completely and taking weight on her legs. I have a friend who's son is the completely opposite in that he's 8.5mths and can't really stand assisted yet. Like you say, he feels so different to carry I have to make sure I'm supporting him more than I would my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621613 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:44:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1621613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K was sturdy. She lifted her head off of DH's chest when she was 24 hours old...and has been squirming and moving ever since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621604 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:41:52 +0000 swurlygurl 1621604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L was pretty sturdy. I'm kinda hoping for a squishy one this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621599 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:40:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1621599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was sturdy. It took 3 nurses to hold his arm down in order to get his IV in while he was in the NICU, and then his arm had to be strapped to a board once it was in b/c he kept ripping it out. So, yeah...sturdy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621572 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:29:00 +0000 Greentea 1621572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sturdy! She was rolling and kicking from the start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621561 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:26:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1621561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was sturdy. She never had that curled up newborn look. The night she was born she kicked my IV line out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621546 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:21:23 +0000 Adira 1621546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander was squishy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sturdy-or-squishy-baby#post-1621536 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:19:03 +0000 citymouse 1621536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was your baby Sturdy or Squishy? DS is very sturdy. He pushes back when we try to move his limbs around, he loves to stand up on our laps and bounce himself up and down, etc.... He is 3 months. Our BFFs have a 5 month old and he is so squishy. You can easily get him laughing by touching his toes to his face, he is so easy to hold in the crook of your arm, etc... I love holding him because he is so different from our DS! </p>
