    You must have some amazing milk there!! Good job babe. Some babies are just chubbier than others, hence the stupid freakin percentiles. He's just storing it up for a good growth spurt or for when he's running around. Enjoy those gorgeous rolls and be proud of how well you are nourishing him

    Fwiw I was at the other end of the scale. It effing sucks. I wish they'd never created those percentile graphs

    I cant believe they told u that, like others said I thought bf babies cant get fat, at least thats what i was told. Bubs will only take what he needs. R u or your hubby big ppl (tall etc) its probably that he is just going to be big. My bubs is at the 10th percentile but im only little (apart form the baby weight lol) so shes just going to be little like me.

    He sounds happy and healthy and your doing a great job and i agree with pp stupid percentile charts lol.

    Hun you are doing an awesome job!!! Don't listen to them!! Geezzz they make it so hard for us mums - my DS is a skinny minny and I BF him till 14 months (self weaned) but he was always skinny and the clinic nurse was going to refer me to a 'feeding clinic' for solids because he was skinny!!! I am tall and skinny!! He is 3yrs old and weighs 15kg.... But DD is my chubba bubba and BF too!! She is 1 year old and weighs 10kgs!!! And all the comments I got about her being chubby is insulting!!

    So you get grief if they are skinny minnies and if they are chubba bubbas ...can't win

    Thanks everyone for your positive responses!!!!!!

    Neither my DH or myself are big people.

    My first DS was a chubby bubby too and i just looked at his records and he weighed 6.7kg at the same age, so i am not too worried now!!!

    My DD is a skinny minny and was never very big. So i guess he is just meant to be a chubby bubby!!! I first DS is skinny now so i know it all falls off them by the time they start moving around!!

    Once again thanks!!!!!!
