I have a 7 month old who weighs 24 pounds. He is the most beautiful baby.He is also 27 inches long. The doctor says that he is going to be a tall man. Sometimes I get tired of defending his weight. People arent very tactful.

Just wanted to know if any one else has a large baby? and arm muscles like mine.

I have a fs who is 3 months 1-1/2 weeks old and weighs in at 16 pounds. I too have very strong arms (albeit very skinny ones).

His 17 month old brother weighed 16 pounds at 6 weeks (biomom nursed and formula fed him). He is now an average size toddler, not too heavy, not to skinny.

I know what you mean about people not being very tactful about the babies weight. I am constantly getting comments like "he's ONLY 3 months old? I thought he was more like 8 months. He sure is big".

Funny thing about these 'big' babies, so often they have very tiny parents.

I am a slender (5'3", 117 lbs) person who always seems to get the 'large size' kids, while the 'bigger' foster parents get these tiny little things. Oh well.
