let me see your 3-4 month old

post #1 of 34
Thread Starter 
So everyone takes one look at pictures of DS and makes comments about how chunky he is. Maybe it's because I'm his mama, but he just looks like a baby to me. Show me pics of your 3-4 month old! I want to know if motherhood has made me blind.

Here are some pictures of Cecilia. She's 3.5 months old:

Not sure how much it'll help you, though. Cecilia's small for her age; she's under 12 lbs.

How much does he weigh? I can't imagine a 3-4 month old being *too* chubby...they are cute like that!!

I'm not sure how much he weighs actually. We haven't weighed him since his 2 month appointment and his 4 month appointment is coming up in a week.

He looks larger than Cecilia, but not so large that his age is shocking to me!

he doesn't look chunky to me. but maybe that's because he looks about the same as my son who everyone says is chunky

I weighed him on our home scale last night and I think he's pushing 18lbs. I'll know for sure at his 4month visit in a couple weeks.
He definitely had a good start at 9lb 12oz and then at 10wks he was just shy of 15lbs and 24 in.

Here's my chunky little thing taking a bath in the sink. This was a week shy of 3 months. At 10 weeks she was almost 15 pounds and 24 inches. I think she's normal sized, she just has some lovely squishy rolls.

aw, they're all so cute! Ok, maybe most babies this age are like our LO. Thanks for putting my anxiety to rest, mamas.

Mine's four months. Here he is a couple weeks ago (posing with all his cute belly rolls next to the impossibly small 0-3 month jammie that was accidently all I'd brought along as an extra change of clothes), and last week. Deliciously chunky!

Wow! Our boys look surprisingly alike in build and hair type My little guy also looks especially chunky when sporting solely his diaper.

this is my dd at about 4.5 months (3.5 months adjusted). she's still 13 lbs or so in that picture, so your guys do in fact look pretty chunky to me!

i always get comments on how *tiny* she is. yeah, she's a bit petite, but she's in the 15th percentile and climbing... not THAT tiny.

I know how you feel, SilverFish. Cecilia was 6 lbs 3 oz at birth (38 weeks) and at her 2 month she was in the 15-20th percentile for height and weight. I was small, so it doesn't surprise me that she is but when I compare her to everyone else around me she seems so tiny and it does sometimes worry me!

Oh mama, I know how you feel. DS is my first and people are always commenting on what a chunk he is. My favorite is when old ladies say "what a healthy baby!" after finding out he's only 3 months

I weighed him earlier this week, and he's up to 19.2 lbs, up from 7 lbs 10 oz at birth.

Here's mine at about three months:

I don't have one with her thighs which are HUGE. We saw a 9 month old baby at the pool today who was about the same size as my three month old. And for the record, I think, Rowena is about 16lbs.

I didn't think your son looked overly big at all!

Original poster- your baby doesn't look chunky to me- he looks just like a healthy 4 mo baby. (and he is adorable too! )
post #20 of 34
Here's a pic from a couple of days ago. She'll be 4 mos in a week.

She's not really that big (~14lbs on my scale), but I get those comments too sometimes.
