I'm the opposite hon. I love it when people comment on how big Jeremy is growing. Maybe because his big sister was such a midget it is great to get comments that my boy is getting nice and big...who knows.
But anyhow, Sam is growing wonderfully and I think it is much better that they put on weight quicker than not at this age anyhow so try and take it as a complement even if you know it probably wasn't meant to be...It may stop them in their tracks and not say it to you again ]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2007 16:26:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=180469&title=im-sick-of#180469 <![CDATA[I’m sick of... : Renee I know what you mean.

Renee I know what you mean.

Rico was 8lb 15oz & 56 cm at birth. He was never chubby but is REALLY tall! He is very heavy though - must all be in the bones though as he's very slim.

Anyhow people have always commented on how tall is he - like it's a bad thing! Very similiar comments to what they're saying about Sam. The thing is - HE'S HEALTHY!!! What's wrong with having a big baby? We don't get to choose the size or personality of our children - we take what we get & love them unconditionally.

Next time someone tells you something like that - you should say "yes, but he's healthy & that's all that matters". It's funny how people feel they have to make comments on your children - a judgement. Rico is 4 next month but pretty much in size 5 clothes - getting into size 6 (Kmart clothes), so still continuing to grow tall! I just think that nobody's going to want to pick on him at school!!]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2007 09:11:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=180281&title=im-sick-of#180281 <![CDATA[I’m sick of... : oh for some fat rolls...even at...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=180065&title=im-sick-of#180065 Author: Bombshell

Aw Renee, you are doing such a great job and don't you let anyone tell you otherwise.

My boy was born 9ib 4oz and 56cm long, he has always been called chubby! It really bothered me at the beginning as he was just a happy healthy boy. So I soon started to tell people off! (I don't want him to grow up with a complex)
We were told by Plunket that if his growth continued the way it was going he would be obese when he was a teenager...yeah like you know that for sure lady.

BTW I love your ticker too!!!

Renee I'm with the others - you are doing a great job! I find it kinda rude how everyone seems to feel they can comment on your babys size, and of course 'you' know your baby, not them, and you know that he is happy and healthy, and after all that is the most important thing.

I had the same issues (and still do) with Elle, she was a 10lb (well 9lb15 - pretty blimmin close to 10lb) at birth, people still say that now, and she really hasn't put on a heck of a lot of weight since birth (is now 14lb4), I have started to tell them to sod off (in my nicest, smiling way )

You are such a good Mummy! Don't worry bout them! He is such a gorgeous wee bubba! ]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2007 08:20:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=179723&title=im-sick-of#179723 <![CDATA[I’m sick of... : busymum wrote:Emma Krystiana...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=179627&title=im-sick-of#179627 Author: Maya

We had the same Renee! Caitlin was born 9lb 7.5oz but she was only 51cm so it make her look bigger.

We were constantly being asked how much formula we were giving her and giving her anything else, this was when she was tiny and way before it was even time to think about solids!

Personally, I'm glad she was a big baby! I was terrified of handling small/skinny babies in case I might break/hurt them. But babies with a bit of meat on them just put me at ease (that makes me sound a bit weird aye? LOL)

Anyways, stuff the GP and get a new one! Unless Samuel is flying off the percentile charts (which I doubt!) then he's perfectly healthy. ]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:25:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=179555&title=im-sick-of#179555 <![CDATA[I’m sick of... : I keep meaning to say, love the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9106&PID=179547&title=im-sick-of#179547 Author: Mazzy

Sienna taught me that you CAN overfeed a formula baby - but they get rid of the excess by throwing up all over you
Maybe Sam is just meant to be a big boy. I had the opposite with Maya being so big at birth and then getting really sick and scrawny but she's found her own growth curve and is still really lean. Whereas the gremlins were small at birth and are now ginormous. Well not quite ginormous but they doubled their birth weight by 3 months. So babies will grow the way they want to grow.
Tell your GP to sod off and then find a new one

ETA: My 'skinny' baby could demolish three tins of baby food in a sitting, my "chubby" babies share one tin between them and even then often don't finish it.

Annoying, thoughtless people! I can't believe your GP said that!
I had a 'bonny' baby as well and used to get so annoyed at those sorts of comments. Worst of all were the number of people who said 'you must be a good cow' - that just ticked me off no end. I'm not a cow!! I do more than just feed my daughter!

Sam sounds like a very healthy, happy, NORMAL (if there is such a thing) baby and you are obviously doing a fantastic job.

Oh Renee Poor you. Sam isn't that unusual I would think. Noah weighed 14lbs when he was 7 weeks old and he was fully breastfed. Some babies are just bigger and they are so cute when they are chubby with their lovely rolls and big round cheeks.

I had the opposite with Christopher.

Gosh that must make you mad. Krystiana was the same length but 'only' 8lbs at birth and her height is currently off the chart LOL and her weight is kinda proportioned but not off the chart thankfully

People make rude comments regardless of what you do - I was apparently a thinnish gobble guts as a baby and my grandparents kept telling my mum (their daughter) that she was starving me and tried to feed me honey/jam off a spoon LMAO. Anyway it pays to have a quick reply ready before they can spit out their regular answer.

People telling my that my baby is ginormous! They say it like they can't believe he is only 8 weeks old and that it's not possible for him to be so huge and that I must be overfeeding him!

Ok, so he was 9lb 1oz and 57CM long at birth, so he was pretty big and long, and he is now 14lbs and 61CM which is on the high end of the scale, but to me he's just my little wee boy. He has height and stockiness on both sides!

What is wrong with having a healthy, happy baby with a good appetite?

Why do people inadvertantly make me feel like I'm a bad mother for having a bonny baby!



Oh and the stupid GP said that formula fed babies will keep eating and eating and eating no matter how much you give them and that I must be horrendously over feeding him for him to be 14lbs already.   I am his mother, I know when he is full and he spits the bottle out and refuses to take it when he has had enough, so there!!
