Different perspectives

Everybody keeps telling me my baby is quite big and whenever I tell them his 6 months they’re shocked and say wow he’s a big boy isn’t he. But when I look at him he’s tiny . He’s in 50th centile and weighs 8.5kg . That’s pretty normal and average for boys surely ? Do us mum’s see our babies differently or are they just gaslighting me?

I keep being told my girl is big! She has dropped to below 50th centile for weight from 91st (based on corrected age as was 4 weeks early) so she actually really isn’t big at all! 5.82kg at 16 weeks. I think people who don’t see them all the time make these sorts of comments because they just see a jump in growth from the last time

Don’t worry about those people. Your baby is super average in size. But he’ll always be a bit small to you bc you see him daily. Like the other poster said, they see the jumps in size. And not the daily progression. And some days you’ll look at him and remember how small he was at birth. They probably don’t mean any harm in their comments. People are often thoughtless. And this is coming from someone who’s baby was in the 90+ percentile consistently and she’s now 2 and looks like she’s 3 lol

I get this all the time but the other end, my boy is 14 months and it’s only 8.8kg now. Everywhere we go people go ohh isn’t he so tiny!?! It never ends! As long as your baby is happy and healthy just ignore everyone’s opinions x

My lo was 8.92kg on the 95th centile 😂 she does have chunky legs! But I wouldn’t listen to these people a baby can’t be big, a baby is a baby why do people comment on babies weight 🤦🏻‍♀️
