Lifeofcharlouise #7 still can’t dress for her figure, can her portion sizes get any bigger?

I don't get her saying snack monster, at that age milk is the main source of nutrition with small meals (I remember the dinky pots I used) not 3 courses, each meal and milk

The only reason I can fathom on overfeeding is stupidity, naivety or wanting them to sleep longer. The first 2 are idiotic and the 3rd is not taking time to put a proper routine in place

Her portions are large so she probably thinks what she’s feeding him is normal. And if she’s spoon feeding him he’s not in control of what he is consuming as he would be if he self fed. Most parents would realise that for a baby his age if you are spoon feeding you give smaller amounts, not shovel in a full bowl like you’re fattening up a duck.
 
I don’t get why she thinks it’s a good thing he’s gone from being tiny and premature to an absolute tank. Over feeding is a child abuse


This is 100% it!

My little boy is just over 22.5lbs at 8 months but the **huge** difference is that he's been consistently on the 98th percentile line since birth (his dad was the same, my poor 5ft 2" mother in law had three 10lb+ babies 😂)...we also only started weaning 6 weeks ago and he's still just playing with finger foods and having a few mouthfuls of mashed bits too. I'm not comparing because I think I'm mother of the year (like most new mums I'm constantly questioning/doubting myself!) but it's hard not to draw parallels when they're so close in age. Parker just doesn't look like a naturally big baby though does he, my little boy is still in 6-9 and some 9-12 months because he's big in his frame etc not just from overeating if that makes sense...I feel harsh even writing this but I hope someone starts supporting her (e.g. health visitor) with some better advice soon before it goes too far. I just cant fathom seeing packing on the poundage as a milestone either, I found it SO exciting when he started sitting, crawling, rolling etc - didn't even occur to me what weight/clothes size he was at the time 🤷‍♀️

Exactly this - weight isn’t an issue, babies come in different sizes but he’s rapidly shot up the centile chart and must be off the scale now!
 
She’s giving me Mrs Trunchbull vibes in that grey jumper/leggings and too tight bun combo 🤣🤣🤣
