That's the beautiful of it all. He's his own person and he's fine! My brother was a big baby (10lbs11oz at birth). Then, he was huge and tall throughout infant hood. Now, he is 14, 5'8" and is an awesome basketball player and athlete. We think he'll even get a scholarship. He is still growing and doctor says he'll probably be over 6' by 17 and more by 21. He's tall, athletic and strong yet so young. Weird because, We're all teenie tiny in my family :)) I was 112lbs and 5'3" at 21. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732355 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 23:38:52 +0000 MaisyMay 732355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's fine. Your doctor knows far better than Google does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732303 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 22:11:53 +0000 chopsuey 732303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Quiverofjustice: WOW! 2T tops or bottoms or both? My 2 year old is in 2T clothes and she's always been in the 90+th%.<br /> She's 3 feet tall (guessing your son isn't 3 feet tall, right?) :) </p> <p>If your pedi isn't concerned, then I wouldn't be concerned either. My daughter wore 12 month onesies when she was 3-4 months old and even wore 18 month separates at 4 months old too.. all of those larger clothes lasted until she was over a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732237 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 21:15:37 +0000 wheres_c 732237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is in 12 month clothes at 4months old. He is 97%in height. Please don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732211 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:52:23 +0000 loveisstrange 732211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has always been big for her age and is just now starting to slow down and drop percentiles at a year old. She's still 90th for weight even now, but she was 100th until 6 months and 95th after that.</p> <p>It all evens out eventually! I wouldn't worry. We just like to joke that she's going to be a 6 ft tall supermodel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732198 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:44:06 +0000 mediagirl 732198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol gigantism. He sounds healthy to me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732184 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:39:07 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 732184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's hysterical that you googled gigantism! I'm sure I would have too though :). I bet it'll slow down once he's crawling. Maybe he's preparing for some marathon crawling sessions to keep up with his siblings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732124 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:15:25 +0000 Quiverofjustice 732124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suppose it's so worrisome because this is my 4th child and all of them (aside from the newest little blessing) were 'normal' sized... Actually a little on the smaller side. All of them were breastfed so it's not like any of them ate any different :) if anyone else has 'big' babies when did try start to slow down? He can't keep up this kind of growth forever. I hope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732093 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:00:24 +0000 runsyellowlites 732093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Quiverofjustice: There are SOOO many things to take into account when following growth &amp; the % is a very small part of that! Is baby meeting milestones? Happy &amp; content? Following in mom or dads growth footsteps? etc.</p> <p>Like @pastemoo: said it's easy to worry regardless of where your baby is on the scale. Best thing to do is just enjoy your lo &amp; try to not waste too much time on that worrying. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732087 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 19:57:20 +0000 pastemoo 732087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr. Google does not have a degree! Trust your ped. Your baby is fine.</p> <p>We ALL worry about how big/small/fast growing/slow growing our babies are. It's part of being a new parent. It's ok. Don't worry!</p> <p>When your pediatrician worries--then you can worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732073 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 19:46:22 +0000 babycanuck 732073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This..My sisters kids, 2 out of 3, were/are in the position. The craziness slowed down just after 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-probably-the-silliest-question-ever#post-732069 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 19:42:56 +0000 Quiverofjustice 732069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...But how big is to big of a baby? My 6mo son is wearing 2T clothes. Our pediatrician says he's fine (he's always been over the 99% mark of height and weight since birth), but the mommy in me can't help but worry! Anyone else run into this issue? Am I being silly or should I google gigantism again? </p>
