I'm getting so mad. Everywhere I go people won't quit commenting on what a "well fed" "chubby" "full" "not starving" baby I have.
She is going to be 5 months old on Thursday and weighs about 16lbs. and is 26in. At her 4 month appt she was in the 80th percentile for weight and 75th% for height. The Dr. never said anything about it, so I assumed she was just fine.
She's got full chubby cheeks but everyone on her dads side of the family does too, I think that makes people just assume she's fat, but I think she's just perfect, not too skinny, not too fat. I feed her whenever she's hungry and she eats what I believe to be an average amount, so I don't think it's even possible for me to be overfeeding her.

I know I shouldn't care what other people think or say, but I seriously can not go out in public without every single person I encounter making a comment. It's driving me nuts.

i dont think people fully realize what a baby should look like at each month. brooke at 3 months weighed 13 pounds and was 25 inches long. people were like wow she's chunky. i just laugh because they are stupid. my girl has the chunky cheeks too which i personally think is absolutely adorable

She sounds perfectly healthy to me!

And there's nothing cuter than cubber checks on a baby ;)

Don't worry about too much.

Your baby is just fine! People use to say the same thing about my son that he was so fat. Now he has grown taller and people are saying oh I see him more thin. I learned that who cares what people say it's the babies doctor who knows not them!

hahaha I get the same sith LOL Kendra is 6mo and 18lbs. It started to bother me for a while, but that is only because it went from OMG she is tiny (6lbs 7oz at birth 6lbs even when we came home) to wow she is a chunker, look at those cheeks, etc

She is in the 95 percentile for height and weight, but she is healthy and she only eats 5-6 ounces about every 4ish hrs and not throught the night so that is about a total of 5 bottles maybe so I know I am not over feeding by any means

I am sure that your baby is fine. People think they are saying something cute and forget that after you have heard it a million times you may start to feel like you are doing something wrong
