To hate that everyone comments on the size of my child?!

[waitingforwinter]

8months old, and has consistently been around 98th centile for weight and 75th for height. He’s a big boy - I’m aware of it - I pushed him out 🤣🤣😅
Is it really the first thing people need to comment on?!
“ohhh...he’s a chunky thing isn’t he?!”
“Well he’s certainly not being underfed”
“Jeeez, what on earth are you feeding him?!”
“He’s a big lad isn’t he?! Has the HV checked his weight?!”
This is from strangers in the street as well as family etc 🙈 I’m plus size myself so maybe more sensitive to the weight comments than others! I feel like people are looking at my size then seeing him and think I’m weaning him on burgers and biscuits 🙈

Is this a normal thing that people comment on? I don’t thing I’ve ever commented on a child’s size 🤔🙄

@stillsleeptraining

I mean this kindly, because everyone's sensitive about their babies. But you're in a very privileged position that I would love to be in. I actually get annoyed at people getting annoyed at these comments!

All I said I wanted when I was pregnant both times was a fat, healthy baby with rolls and cute fat cheeks. Both times, I've had horrendous feeding problems that have meant the first 4 months were spent in medical appointments and being worried sick. I honestly can't tell you how jealous I am of people with fat babies (and people who have never experienced feeding problems).

@stillsleeptraining I didn’t mean to cause any offence with my post so I’m sorry if it upset you! And I’m sorry you’ve experienced problems with feeding. Slightly presumptuous to think we’ve had no issues though...EBF for 3 months with lots of difficulty (zero BF support in hospital due to covid) then complete breast refusal due to horrendous silent reflux. Unable to get help in our area due to covid. Medicated for reflux - didn’t help. Milk supply plummeted. Reluctantly had to move to formula and gaviscon. Constipation issues. Eventually settled on a specific anti-reflux formula which helped him. Reflux only properly settled now at 8m after increasing to 3 meals a day and moving back to normal formula. I was just very lucky that he had a bit of extra weight on him so weight stalled a bit to begin with rather than losing weight.
