Uniqueone,
I'm sorry if you're hurt by the list of weight. If mommies do not feel comfortable to share such particulars, you don't have to. Not all mommies will update their baby's weight here for me to compile. I'm sure those who do, do it willingly and with pleasure to share the development of their little ones.
I feel that people's remarks on your child are just a passing statement when they try to strike up a conversation and quite harmless, even if the person is rather tactless. You can't blame pple for passing such remarks 'cos we hold perception. When the PD guage the growth of the baby, he/she also gently refers to the statistics weight and height percentile, but may be considerate enough not to say those hurtful words such as "skinny" or "fat".
Don't put these remarks to heart. The size (height and weight)of our little one depends on genes as well as eating habits. Like you say, as long J is eating well and growing healthy, you know it!
So, is our baby's weight/height for competition? <font color="ff0000">NO!!!</font> When I summarise the heaviest baby / lightest baby, it wasn't an intention to create competition, superiority / inferiority. I'm sorry if I've offended....esp. Daphne, Leereiner, Tracy, 1sttimemum.
It's fine with me to do away with this list, hehehe...with thanks, saves my time

uniqueone - I understand how u feel except that I am on the reverse. My BB is 5.5 mths but look like 7 mths. When ppl ask me, they also give me "that look" as in they will look at me (I am on the big-boned side) and then look at the BB and they must be thinking..."Mummy big big...so BB also big big"...and I also just smile and walk away. I just want to share with you that no matter big or small, some ppl just love to compare lor.
Big or Small....they are our BBs and we are very proud of them right?

Thank you all mummies for not taking my remarks into heart especially Chenoa.
Chenoa,
I'm not hurt by the weight columns lah but more towards the summary thingy coz I'm super worried that Jayden's name will be there in the months to come...haha...so perhaps you might just want to leave that out ;p
mom_yam,
I guess Jayden must be tired of hearing all those remarks too so maybe he just smile to brush that off..hahha...
mel_lim,
I think your situation is better than mine lor. Pple look at me will think 'Mummy big big, how come bb so small???' haha....
Anyway, thanks everyone for consoling me

Hi all mommies wif small sized bbs,
No need to feel inferior or bad abt ur bb being smaller than others of same age. In fact, I tink it's better ler. I can easily tell u a few reasons y I say so.
1. Easier to carry n able to carry for longer hours without suffering from achings. Not so tiring oso.
2. Clothes will have more mileage. No need to buy new clothes so often. Save $$$.
3. Shoes n socks oso. Outgrown very fast.
4. Diapers too. No need to upgrade to bigger sizes so soon. Bigger size = Lesser pcs = More exp.
5. Like I always tell my hubby, now at 5mths my gal oredi wearing L liao. Then by 1yo or sooner, she will run out of sizes to wear liao ler. How huh? Headache ler. By then, no choice, we will hv to force her to toilet-train.
I believe dat all babies are still drinking milk as their primary source of food at this stage. Dun tink any mommies is giving ur darlings any health supplements bah. Juz dat each child is unique, they grow n develop at their own pace.
The only fact to be happy abt is dat people will tend to compliment dat ur bb is big n chubby wherever u go lor. Dats d only plus point I guess.
As for my gal, she only drinks breast milk nothing special but she juz keep on ballooning wor. As for me, I am still taking Neurogain PB n multi-vits. Not sure if it makes a difference anot.

me small mummy but baby big. worst still baby has no resemblance of me at all!!!! wen i bring baby out, ppl tink i m a maid carrying her mdm' daughter, especially wen i use sarong sling. stereotyping.
hahah.. eliza u r funny lei!
aiya all big, small, fat, skinny bottom line is our dearest darling and we aunties love other bbs as much as ours. coz' bbs are the most innocent ones isnt it.
bblim, u r so right abt the diapers part. my mil drop her jaws when my son at 4 mths plus start wearing L. but dt worry my frd told me when they start to crawl or walk their weight will drop.
uniqueone, tell u something interesting.. pls dt thk yr son now small small and start giving him all the food coz' when he grows up he may become fat like my bro and hb.
my hb and my bro were born very small size. my bro was the skinnest in the class till k2 to pri 2. so my mom keep feeding all the "hou liao" end up now too fat, really very big size.
so jus a word to u, healthy is the word. dt care whether he is big or small as long he falls in the avenge group, he is safe. PD words are more accurate than other mummies' eyes are words.
OH.. ending this.. being big size bb also dangerous lei. if u read most mag, they are discouraging fat fat bb coz' it will lead to obese.

uiqueone,
My bb also very small size and the worst thing is that he has a very very very fat mummy. My family memeber always say that i take away JJ fats that's why he is skinny and i am so fat... but one thing d\good about small size bbis that they are really easy to carry and their clothing last them super long... heehee!!!!
Now JJ is drinking 200ml of milk every 3.5 to 4hrly and i find it a bit too much liao but PD say as long as he is taking well and putting on weight than its fine. He is now still wearing 3mths old clothing and still can wear S size diaper.. Heehee!!

Hmm...Isaac rejected your MIL porridge? Is it becoz he's tired of eating porridge liao? Coz for Jayden's case, he'll reject cereal if he's eating the same stuff continuously for a few days. So I have to alternate between bb food, cereal and porridge. Perhaps that's the same case for Isaac?
Just hang on there. I know it's tough to settle maid and MIL issues. Heard alot of all these when I went to my student's place for tuition. His grandma bullied by the maid and the maid requested to return to her country. Alot of problems. As for MILs, is either tahan or bo chap them lor.
1sttimemum,
Haha...my aunties also said that abt me. That I'm too fat then all the nutrients blocked by the fats thus Jayden didn't absorb when he was in my stomach. Aiyo, don't worry lah, you are not the only fat fat mummy, me too
Jayden is also wearing 3mths clothes, as for diapers, he's wearing M but abit loose lor. Coz this kiasu mummy went to stock up M size diapers, so now clearing space before can buy new ones!

i'm on the opposite end of the scale. like mel_lim, my bb also very big. from 1st time i bring him out (after his first month) until now, pple still give me the jawdropping look when they find out how old Leo is. To be honest, i am numb already. Leo was born at 3.94kg, very big, and every time i go see pd, he will tell me his weight gain is normal, so i'm very happy. Some more he's on TBF, supposed to reduce chances of obesity.
chenoa
i believe i speak for all mommies that we are very grateful for your time and effort to maintain the table. yah, the weight chart is to track progress, not to compare... i really appreciate having a quick reference.
1sttimemum
my boy wearing XL mamy poko already ah! everytime i tell pple that, they will laugh. at first very hurt, but i've gone past that liao... luckily mamy poko got XXL!
ET
i oso entertained tots of stopping becos Leo's taking lesser and lesser milk and i'm storing so much milk in my freezer that it's gng to explode! it's very tiring and like 1sttimemum, i oso every day have to carry pump to work and express, but when i think of all the benefits for my boy, i continue. But of coz, the decision is always up to you. If you feel like you need encouragement, we can always support each other here in the forum!

1sttime mum, my bb also drinking 200-210ml but worse it's abt 2.5-3hly and she's not very big. At 5 mth, 6.95kg only..Wonder where all the nutrients went.
Gals, wonder if u notice ur bb leaning forward when sitted on bumbo, exersaucer or prop up sitting on the lap? Is it ok? My gal seems to tiptoe in her exersaucer, wonder if it's coz her feet can't quite touch the ground yet, would it heard her groin area?
Hmm..my gal usually sleeps through the night.been putting my gal to bed at 8.30pm but somehow this week she suddenly waking up at 10pm and again at 4am crying but not opening her eyes, have to carry her awhile and she keeps SUCKING her fingers till she goes back to sleep. Pull out she will still put back and she doesn't take the pacifier. Wonder she will suck till her thumb distorts...Is this the teething stage?

Yeah lor.. like mel_lim & fussiecat, I also face people making astonished faces at me whenever I tell them how old Amanda is. Even my own PD said she looks like a 8-9 mth old at 5 mths.. and there are people who asked me repeatedly whether Im sure if Amanda was 5 mths old!!!! Very irritating.. so whether big or small, people will make comments, dont care about them lor.. those are just strangers passing by, whatever they say have no impact on our lifes, so dont take it to heart..
fussiecat,
My hubby kept saying that Leo is sooooo cute!
He said that Leo was making eyes at Amanda haha, when he saw you guys at the bookstore at Great world city that day hehe

I will check with hubby see if he can remember where he buy anot. As for the bid, its from JL if i did not remember wrongly. Brand is Sassy. Very useful coz infront is plastic type and behind is cloth. At least when eating, its not so dirty and easy to wash.

Nowaday, i pump 5 times a day, each time about 220ml. Me too have some forzen BM to throw away. So hard pain.. do you think we can wash our face using BM??? Heehee!!!!

Aiya, smallest or biggest is not a matter.... healthy is good liao. I learn to take things easy coz when JJ was admitted to kk hospital that day after a fall from the bed, he was admitted and there are so many baby or childred staying there. Some had a spine operation at 2 yrs old, cannot urine properly and had to operate, infant got hole in the heart and had to stay there since birth and so much more. Theirs is so sad and so young have to suffer so much liao so guess as long as bb is healthy can liao.
Hunniepot,

1sttimemum, i agree with u. my nephew has been in and out fm hosiptal due to bone prob. he has been a tough child since birth. Have worms in his body that cause him not eating well. etcs... so let's count our blessing and ignore those pple who stare and say silly things on our bbs.

I agree with u too. This one i have great feeling about it. My own nephew has down syndrome. And i can see the pain and suffering he is under and also his parents. He is 7 yrs old now but still can't walk. And not much solid food fed to him, except porridge and cereal. So much time and money put in. It is really energy draining. So it is really a blessing that we have healthy babies!!

actually it's good to go on for as long as possible.i know pple who nurse for very long time, so i look up to them as my inspiration! i oso encourage some of my gfs when they have probs nursing or with milk supply. BUT BUT BUT! i always feel that nursing your bb is still a personal decision so i never pressure them or make them feel guilty in any way when they decide to give up or stop. cos it's true, your own life is very much affected. (Tiffany, i ask myself all the time "when can my life go back to normal?")
for myself, i set the target of 6mths. i never expect myself to be a human milk bank! and now that i'm able to store so much milk, i think i will go on for as long as i can. i'm also thinking of donating to pple who need BM, but becos i'm not exactly following a very strict or nutritious diet, i'm afraid other babies may get allergic reaction from my BM... so, in the meantime, my freezer is packed with packs of BM.

Chenoa, your mailbox is full liao. Mail bounced back.
Hunnie, how to send photo to you har? And can have the invitation?
Gals, dun take it to heart when people compare, they tend to do it. What's more important is that we are doing our best because of our love for our children and have never thought of short-changing them.
I am giving my Brendon a routine when it comes to feeding so as to prepare for work next month.
Morning : BF
Late Morning : Food
Early Afternoon : EBM

Realised that he's not drinking as much as he used to, so have to express more often to sustain the output. Well, as long as he's healthy, I'm fine.
Nowadays, he likes to play a lot then at night sometimes have nightmares...hiaz...

healthy babies
when Leo was born, he had some problems breathing (even tho he so big-size) so he was in the NICU for the 1st week of his life. i was very devastated but when i went to visit him in NICU and saw the baby next to Leo, i was even more sad. (can really feel for the bb's parents) The bb was very premature and her weight was ONE-QUARTER of Leo!! can u imagine how tiny she was??
now as a parent, every time i hear abt bbs and children being harmed in any way, i get REALLY affected and always hug Leo abit more closely.
