9 month baby weighs 2stone - should I worry?

[somewherebecomingrain]

Hi my little girl is very heavy - two stone, maybe a bit more now, and she is only 9 and a half months.

Everyone who picks her up goes 'oof'. She weighs more than many 2 year olds. I carry her around in a toddler sling.

She is tall - growing out of her 12-18m clothes and wearing mainly 18-24 month clothes. So she is in proportion to some extent.

I just feel she has very heavy bones - I can't even believe her size accounts for how heavy she is.

My main concerns are:
Getting stuck in a vicious circle where she cant move cause she is too heavy, and because she doesn't move, she keeps getting heavier, and therefore can't move.... Etc
hurting herself when she is learning to be mobile
Finding physical activity difficult throughout her life and having weight problems,

my mil I think has the same body and has always been overweight although 5:2 has sorted her out aged 76 a miracle.

That's good to hear. I am sure she will grow into her weight soon enough.

That's good news OP. I forgot that simply digesting calories takes up quite a lot of energy in itself. It's why we feel tired after eating. That's probably why she's perking up a bit.

I have nothing to add except to say that is never easy to take criticism, no matter how carefully phrased, when it comes to our little ones. I think the OP has handled herself with a lot of grace in this thread.
