aibu to wonder if the chubby babies become the overweight children?

[honeytea]

Today me and ds went to our first "mummy group" all tge babies in the group were 2 months old. Ds is huge, he weighs 6.6 kg (almost 15 pounds) he is

ds2 was 10lb at birth and gained roughly 1lb a week for quite a while. At his 6 week check, the doctor asked if he was 6 months (stupid idiot, he was big but he still looked babyish)

He is now nearly 6 and tall and very skinny

EBF DD2 was huge, rolls of fat, shelves on the outside of her thighs. She was a shock after her tiny big sister. However, she was healthy, met all her milestones and is active, bright and well within the healthy BMI range for her age and gender. She walked at nine months and that's when the Buddha-rolls dropped off BTW you can't over feed a BF baby unless you put the BM in a bottle, apparently.

Appologies if this has already been said but isn't birth weight genetic?

I was a big baby and all my dcs were big.

I would say we are all big boned but none of us are fat.

I am a size 10.

My eldest was a giant, off the centile charts baby, she was so big strangers would stop and gawk at her. She always wore several sizes up. She started to slim down at 2 and by 3 was a mid sized child now at 7 she is slim .
I was a fat baby too , big chubby cheeks, treble chin, rolls all over, and am a size 4-6 .

DD1 was a very tubby baby. Over 91% and rising fast. I was careful what she ate, as in making sure it was always a healthy snack, pudding wasn't drowned in cream etc. Never restricted food, or made her aware of this though.

Age 8yo she had pneumonia badly and had to be weighed for exact medication. Nasty moment of discovering that she had actually lost weight from the last time she had been weighed nearly 2 years previously. So ended up under the doctor for a year to keep an eye on her weight being too small. She's going up the 25% line now, and has been for 3 years.

My brother was a chubby kid, like myself. When he hit puberty, he shot up & there wasn't a pick on him. Unfortunately, that didn't happen to me! So I guess you just can't tell how things are going to work out.

My dnephew wasn't just chubby at 6mo he was a butterball. He was so much off the charts for weight the health visitor wouldn't believe that he was just breasfed (he was). B/w 1 and 2 he slimmed down and has been a whippet ever since (now 13).
