POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Long, short, thin, or chubby — babies come in all shapes and sizes. While society may send a message that your lil’ nugget has to have rolls of baby fat to be healthy, this isn’t really true.
As long as they’re meeting developmental milestones, are alert and active, and are feeding well, you likely don’t need to worry. Consistent growth — not exponential growth — is the key to baby’s well-being.
Remember, too, that your pediatrician — not your neighbor or your aunt Sheila — is the best expert to determine whether your baby needs to gain more weight. Even if your little one does need to bulk up, there are plenty of tools and resources for getting them back on weight-gaining track.
