My daughter just turned 8 months old (6 adjusted), she was born 9 weeks early weighing in at 3lb. She now weighs 18 ? lb and I just had to buy her 12 month summer clothes, that fit her almost perfectly (except in length)! I even have to move her diaper size up to a 4 because her legs are super chunky. I am just wondering are your babies the same size as her or is she just a Big Baby.
Don?t get me wrong, I am not complaining about her size, I am just in disbelief that she is in 12 months already
Re: Do I have a Big Baby?
Your baby sounds totally normal. It's pretty average for a kid to wear clothing that is a size bigger than their age.
DS is around 16lbs, wears size 3 diapers & wears 6-9m clothes. He's also normal, just on the smaller side.

I think that the clothes should go by weight, not by age. It makes no sense the way they are! LO can fit into 6-9 months but he also fits into 12 month clothes no problem. He is in size 4 diapers.
At his 6 month appointment he was 19 lbs and 27 inches..... He is relatively tall but weight seems to be distributed quite evenly, though he does have a buddah belly :-)
As long as your doc thinks LO is fine and developing OK, try not to worry about weight!
Thank you. It is good to know she is not out of the relm for her age. If she keeps this up she will be in 24 month by her birthday (lol).
My son will be 9 months on the 9th and as of today weighs 19lbs 4 oz and is in 12 months clothes and a size 4 diaper.
On the other side my niece is 15 months old and still wears a size 3 diaper.
My DD was around 18 lbs at 6 months. She's been wearing size 4s for a while and is wearing 9-12 month clothing. She's not even a big kid, just tall.

This is my LO exactly.
Baby Boy #2 is on the way!
