Hi everyone.
The health visitor popped round today and weighed DD2 who is 30 weeks old (7 months tomorrow) and she is 2 stone! 28lb of pure baby fat.
We went through her milk intake, meals, weaning etc and the health visitor could find nothing wrong but in 4 months since she's last been weighed she's gone from 11lb (8lb 11oz born at 38 weeks) and in the 76th percentile to 28lb and the 99th.
I've been told to take DD2 to the GP in the morning and I'm worried it's now not going to be "She's a big baby, it'll fall off soon" and more "Mrs Lemon, there's a problem".
DD2 has always been chubby and it's the first thing people comment on but I've always just thought she.seems healthy, is fine in herself, she is active on her tummy, rolling etc so it'll be fine.
Please, calm my.nerves and senseless mind.
FWIW, DD1 was 9lb 7.5oz at 39 weeks and was a bigger baby but now at 3 she's rather slim at 2stone 4lb.
