Lea, a mummy in my mothers group has an 10 month old boy who is 12 kg. Nixon looks like a healthy happy boy and he doesnt look overly big at all - he looks just right. I dont think you have anything to worry about, and as you said it is all healthy foods that he eats. People just like to make dumb comments. Remember too that boys tend to be bigger than girls anyway. Theyre probably just comparing Nixon to their own or other babies. Or they just dont know anything at all about babies so they are just talking out of their bums trying to make themselves look like they know heaps.

Claire is 10 months and weighs just on 7 kg, and I get the opposite from people: "oh she's very small for her age isnt she? Does she eat? You need to feed her more!" and some lovely person had the nerve to say: "Oh, she looks underweight. You shouldnt starve her." People keep telling me to put her on formula to fatten her up. Something they dont consider is that I am also small, so I guess she just takes after me. BUT I know she is healthy, she eats only healthy natural foods and she just doesnt stop moving so I suppose she burns alot of energy. She isnt developmentally delayed in any way that we've noticed... I know she is on the other end of the scale, but I do know wht you mean and how frustrating it is when people mke comments abouts bubs size.

I always tell people just what Cherie said - you need big and small to make an average.

seriously, he looks great so dont stress out.
