why are they saying he is FAT

[aussienic]

um thats what my first son weighed at 1... they lose the weight when they start shooting up

by the way my first son is now 50% for weight and 75 for height now

I don't get why people would even comment on such a young childs weight..

Because people today are so obsessed with weight that they will even make perfectly normal and healthy children out to be fat!!

DD1 was in a similar weight range at that age and DD2 is looking to be even bigger, she is just on 4 months and only fits into size 0!! (and she is exclusively breastfed - and i am sick to death of hearing "isn't she big!!")

Ask them how much they weigh - I find it usually shuts them up!!

But I love fat babies soooooo much! I love those rolls, I love it when it looks like they have little rubber bands all the way down their little arms, and of course chunky cheeks!
Belle's nickname at one stage was Sarah Lee (layer upon layer upon layer) and Beth had such cankles she needed wider socks.
I love watching babies stuffing food into their little mouths and getting it everywhere, I usually comment when I see another little one earnestly attacking their lunch or if they are a boom-ba. I never mean it negatively, and when I say "wow you sure feed him well" it's a compliment, and it's always taken as such.

So please think of chubba-bubba lovers like me when you hear a comment like that, but if you really think they mean it in some sort of weird, sick, baby needs a DIET rubbish - get the stick out, I'll back you up.
