Apparently my baby is tiny?

DS and I were at the grocery store and a lady who was stocking shelves guessed him to be 6 or 7 months old.  Really?  That's your guess?  When I said, "no, he's 14 months" her response was, "Wow!  He is so little!"

I don't exactly remember how much he weighed at his last appointment, but I know he was at least in the 50th percentile.  He always has been (with the exception of his birth weight!)  People are weird!

    Ppl just want to put their 2 cents in. I'm sure you would know if there was anything to be concerned about. I'd rather have a smaller child than one where the parents gave them sooooo much food they are already overweight by age3.

    We used to get that a lot. For a while, dd was in the 10th percentile for her weight, but now she 25th for her weight and 75th get height. She's still on the smaller side, but people don't think we're starving her anymore.

    I think people have a hard time guessing ages. My niece was in pre-k last year and I had people ask me if she was in second or third grade. 

    And this is completely different but my first graders at work have guessed my age to be anywhere from 15-69. Really flattering:)

    Anyway, I'm sure she probably just isn't good at guessing ages. I know I'm not...but that is also exactly why I wouldn't try to. I think it can be offensive to parents even if people aren't trying to be rude.

    why do people always feel the need to say SOMETHING- ???? i had a woman ask me how far along i was-she guessed 5 months- when i told her 7 1/2 months- she was like oh my god you're so small- you're gonna have a dwarf child!!!

    like WTF- why would you say that??? 'm already having anxiety ridden dreams that my baby wont be healthy....
