My little ladybug was 16.4 lbs at her 4 month and she goes for her 6 month in 2 weeks. I was just wondering in your opinion is she overweight? Obviously i will discuss with my doctor at her appointment as well. She gets around 28-32oz of formula throughout the day.
TIA
Re: Is my baby overweight?
Is "Oh my god she looks like a baby bird!" better?
I've commented on a baby's size before and it's always a good thing, like, "look how healthy he is growing!"
edit to clarify
I'm so tired of hearing it too! A friend, every single time we see her, says "OMG he's HUGE! He's bigger than my son (who is almost 6 months)." Started to really bug me and made me ask the ped at his 2 month if he was too big. The ped told me I was being ridiculous.
DS is about 13 lbs now, 3 weeks shy of his 4 month.
This. I wouldn't worry about weight no matter what until the pedi tells you it's an issue. It's not possible for an infant to be "overweight".
Seriously! What are you going to do, put your baby on a diet? Don't worry, your LO is fine. Mine weighs almost 18 lbs and he will be 4 months on the 11th. I'm glad he is such a healthy eater!
