Bluma G - she sounds adorable! Maybe it's just me, but chubby babies always seem happy and good natured to me. And I also hate those comments. We live in such a weight concious society that it even impacts how some people look at babies. Rolling Eyes Enjoy her!

Brachad - If your baby sits by himself there's no reason he can't sit in a shopping cart. If he still slumps over sometimes maybe you can get one of those harness things that attach to the cart and offer greater support.

Well, we just got back from the doctor and my four month old weighs 21 lbs!
He is also 25 inches long! The doctor was joking that I must have chocolate breast milk. Like I've never heard that one before! He is almost triple his birth weight of 7 lbs 15 oz. Another problem is finding clothes that actually fit him... B"H for such problems!

Rivk,
If my baby is in the 95th percentile, being 19 pounds at 6 months, I guess your baby is in about the 99th??

Someone said -- some mothers make skim milk, some make whole milk...and some make cream!!!
I guess we (if you're nursing) make cream!

It was so weird...the other day I was pumping and one side (which I had pumped earlier) was the thick usual milk and the other side (which had been very full) looked watery! I wonder if it has to do with the hind/foremilk, etc.

Actually he's not in any percentile - he's off the charts in both weight and hight!

Here's an update - my son is now six months old and twenty four pounds bli ayin harah! Thankfully he started sitting up a while ago so shopping is no longer an issue. The doctor said she would like to have a sample of my breastmilk to analyze. Truthfully, I also wonder how the components of breastmilk vary from person to person. Hmmmm

does it really? so if I eat fattening food, my baby can get fat??
when my baby was 12 pounds at 6 weeks (he's almost 9 months and 20 now...it does slow down!)...someone told me --
some mothers produce whole milk and some produce skim...
and some produce cream!!!!!!!!

one more thing -- just something interesting...
once when I was pumping, the 2 sides seemed to have a different consistency...1 side looked much more watery!!
my mother, who babysits, was nervous to give the milk to the baby and mixed the 2 bottles. LOL! I don't really think it would have made much of a difference!! (and we're B"H not worried about him not gaining!)

"Because quality depends on the mother's diet, breast milk is not always superior to a well-planned formula. For ex., studies show that when nursing mothers are on an extremely low proiein diet, the growth of their infants is stunted and their brains damaged.
The higher the mother's intake of protein, unsaturated fats, and vitamins, the more of these nutrients found in breast milk."

"...girls say they stopped nursing because their milk was so thin and blue that their babies did not gain readily; and that their pediatricians declared their milk to be of poor quality. Except for colostrum, good breast milk is always thin. The amount of vitamin B2 it contains gives it the blue color."

But what if two mothers had exactly the same diets. Would their breastmilk be exactly the same? Or is there something in a person's body (genetics?) that controls the quality of the milk?
