My son was a chunky monkey and at 3 months looked like a 6 month old in size! Breast feeding is the best thing for babies and the bond it creates is so wonderful! He grew to be 6'5.
Except when it comes to carrying them, lol! All my babies were huge, smallest being 9lb 9oz and biggest being 12lbs 3oz and all were 24" when born. They were heavy to lug around especially my 12 pounder after a c-section 😊
Formula does it too 🤗 it was the best thing for mines. One was allergic, some different were difficult couldn't latch, and I gave up on the rest, as formula did the job.
@@wgcds7jyg897 how is breastmilk starting the child on being overweight and diabetic? If the mother is eating well, the child will put on weight if fed regularly. That's what usually happens, lol. As the child gets older, that will gradually lose the baby fat. It's really not that deep, lol
Such a freakin' cutie pie! ❤ My first 3 1/2 month old was 20 pounds. Now he's a happy healthy 21 year old. #2 came out 9 pounds so he had a head start #3 was hospalized for her 1st 30 days. I pumped so much milk the nurses wanted to feed the entire nursery. I ended up using the extra for #1 and #2 morning cereal. "Hey! They were still MY kids at ages 3 and 5!" 😍😂
I exclusively breastfed my only child for 2 years and 8 months... She's one of the smartest 1st graders in her school and barely gets sick. I was told by multiple doctors I had liquid gold lol
And everyone should remember that there are mothers who aren’t able to breast-feed. I did with my son for the first year and a half. With my daughter, 14 years later, my milk didn’t come in! No matter what I took, or how much I pumped, I never got any milk out of one side, and the other side was just a small trickle. I gave him the trickle I had, but then I had to go on a search for breastmilk from other mothers. Those generous other mothers were my lifesaver and provided for my baby what I could not! So, just remember if you do produce, especially if you produce prolifically lol, to consider helping out those of us who couldn’t ❤
@athenawright2019 He's an infant. It is completely healthy and 100% normal for them to store larger amounts of body fat because their bodies require higher amounts of easily accessible energy supplies to support their rapid growth and development...why do you think he's unhealthy?? 🤔
A mother’s breast milk is vegan as it is given freely. Please keep your children’s Vegan virginity intact and never feed them any animal products. They’ll thank you later.
Wait wait wait now I'm catching the whole comment about facial muscles yada yada. Y'all are saying breast fed babies will grow up to be better looking???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This generation is losing it.
This generation is growing up constantly comparing themselves with others and if someone isn't doing things exactly as they do they feel so insecure about their own decision that they are clawing that other person into shreds. And before anybody gets their claws out: I breastfed my son for a long time, it was good, he's cute, he's smart, he's fit. So are most of the kids his age who were fed with formula. So go away from me with your crunchy insecurities.
@@FlowerPower-cf2fp There is some truth in it. First working at getting milk and later chewing is quite important to jaw development. My son has autism and sucked poorly and would not chew textures, now as a teenager we are having to get extensive orthodontic work done or as he gets older his mouth will be lopsided. It made perfect sense when the dentist explained it.
It’ll Do It Every Time!!!!! 🥰 Some Others Need To Learn What That Milk Is All About, Amen 🙏🏽 And He Ain’t Stole Nothing From Nobody!!🤣🤣🤣 God Bless Your Family Sweetie🙏🏽🥰🌹😇
Lawwwd! He is the cutest little happy camper! My pediatrician was old school and had practiced in third world countries in his youth! I came to him when he was retirement age here in the states. He said, “ let your child decide when they are ready to ween. Breasts aren’t sex organs like the media portrays them. They are for keeping babies alive and soothing them, bonding.” He nursed until he started school! He’s the most well adjusted, intelligent 26 year old I’ve ever met! More so than most of the people my own age! Scored a 35 on the ACT and is so thoughtful! Well done momma! I wish all mommas could do this! ❤️
You gave them the best ever nutritional start in life that will ALWAYS benefit them even later in life. Not every momma can breastfeed but those who can, really should.
My wife and I welcomed our first baby girl on Halloween 🎃 pretty trippy 😅 the wife fills bottles for me so she can get used to both of us feeding her. Helps my relationship with my daughter in these critical first few months. Excellent healthy baby you have there. Good job! I know its not easy and extremely time consuming.
@nyia25 Congratulations! She just had her one month checkup today! She gained 1 1/2 lbs and is doing very well! I wish you and your family good health this winter!
@@nyia25Yes, it's scary.... My last big boy got to 10kgs (22lbs) at 6 months on breast milk only! Nothing better for Mums, babies & families. Dad can do his thing later.... Admitted, it is pretty hard work & intense during those first few months. The world revolves around that one little being. So much easier later, any subsequent babies just get hauled about & have to adapt. The first in many ways is the hardest!!
I breastfed my son exclusively until he was 6 months and kept going until he was 14 months. Only stopped because it was time for his open heart surgery and doctors said the trauma of sudden weaning off breast milk would harm him more than stopping gradually and peacefully before the hospital procedures. So, point being, even a very sick child with congenital heart defects gained weight and immunity from breastfeeding alone...and it wasn't "time consuming", if anything, I was the one taking each precious breastfeeding moment as the last and would do it all again. Happy to report he survived, is virtually cured and turns 12 next week. Go mammas!!! And daddas too hehe
@DeepSouthPal84 thank you! Omg how wonderful! Tell mommy to keep up the great work! It's beautiful when both parents can support the breastfeeding journey. ❤️
Breastfeeding was a relief for me. My Mom showed me how to make my milk form properly and fast by putting a hot water bottle on both my breast. It was a relief for my son and I. The elders know many things that many doctors do not know.
@@memee-bg9lx elders? How old is your mum? This topic should not be discussed on an app that is full of perverts and weirdos. 👏🏻to all the breast feeding mums and 👏🏻 to all the bottle feeding mums. Neither are better mums because of it.
My son was Born 10lbs and after 7 weeks he was 15 pounds already. He sure didnt miss a meal. Breastfeed him every two hours, it was tough at the beginning but so rewarding. At 10 months we stopped because he still would eat every two hours ,especially at nights. Now he is a heathly 4 year old and quite tall for his age too.
@@mezekielblondy6021 my Baby spend more time With Daddy and i got to leave the House 😄he gave the Baby a bottle With Milk and also Put him to sleep and it only took a few days .Luckily Baby didnt cry.
that is why women has boobs. so their babies can have food to grow on. I am never upset seeing a woman breast feeding her child for the bonding between a mother and her child is also a loving event from this. sadly when I was born, mothers stop doing this and I only saw this happen when my brother's wife breast feed her sons.
@ElCid48 wtf is wrong with you! Don't look at your brothers wife while she is breast feeding! That's a huge invasion of privacy, a bind between mother and child. Not mother and child and the voyer
A mother’s breast milk is vegan as it is given freely. Please keep your children’s Vegan virginity intact and never feed them any animal products. They’ll thank you later.
Breastfeeding is actually easier than bottle feeding, I absolutely loved it, breast feed my two children until they were past 3 years old ( it is kind of a cultural thing). They are grown now and dont even get colds, ever.
@@mimozamaci2588 it actually is way easier. You don't need to get up to prepare a bottle. It is always available and has the right temperature every time. Your baby doesn't need to cry for long when hungry because the boobies are unpacked in seconds. It is only an issue when the mom can't breastfeed due to health issues imo. I feel like it's an issue in the USA too because moms don't get any maternity leave and therefore don't have the time (or are too stressed) to bond with their babies for healthy breastfeeding
@@EthelCulver / if you're going to comment like that, spell the words right with no extra letters, so somebody can read it. Somebody might listen to you if you have something to say. God is listening, too. ❤
I breastfed all three of my babies. My daughter never got pudgy but my boys were big guys. When my second baby was around 3 months old the lady behind me in the grocery store tapped my shoulder then asked,”are you sure your baby has a neck?” I was proud and insulted all in one second. He was breastfed and very healthy. He’s a dad now and that story always makes him laugh.
Same here all kids have fast metabolisms like me so they never got chunky. I breastfeed 4 of them. But my eldest wasn't breastfeed pasts 4 months because I had no support. She got really chunky off formula she was so stocky 😂 I can't believe someone would say such a thing to you! Disrespectful.
my eldest was ready @1 1/2 but my second wasn't ready until 2/1/2 At those ages , it was for nap and bedtime. The rest of time they drank from a sippy cup.@@HoneyBeeFever
I hope you still gave the baby either breast milk or formula until baby was 1 year old. They are supposed to have it for 1 year. They just wing need as much since they are starting on solids, usually by 6 months.
@@cricos_crea- Yeah, it’s a strange thought, though, it seems America is one of the few cultures that have a more “individual” mindset, vs. familial-based. Though, narcissism was purposefully bred into western society, post-WWII, so, that could have something to do with it, also.. I don’t think it’s right to *expect* children to be a parent’s caretaker, in their elder years. Though, One cannot blame a parent to *desire* to be taken care of, in their old age, by their children. And it is really nice, when it does become full circle. However, also, it depends on the quality of the relationship. Not every parent who desires such, has earned such. I know that all too well. I’d say as long as parents put adequate effort into cultivate a loving, healthy relationship and upbringing for their children - having that desire is completely reasonable. Though, as someone with family members diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, as well as someone who was bedridden/housebound for a near decade, up until fairly recently, is permanently disabled, has no family except a mother I would rather die than be under the care of, ever again; as well as unmarried and can’t have children.. I can’t help but wonder who would take care of me, in my older age - when I couldn’t even get taken care of by those who were suppose to, and even committed to, in my younger ages? In reality, it’s a valid concern and worry for anyone to have.
Don't be so fast to say breastfeeding feeding is "organic" when it's full of plasic and forever chenicals from mom. Everyone does their best with what they have. Fed is best.
@LauraBidingCitizen i mean tbeyve been testing it for years. Plastics that stopped being made ten years ago were found in breast milk last year. Even the mothers blood as everyones has forever chemiclas. Even babies are born with plastics in their blood. Its wild. Im not crunchy, i just find it fascinating
@@stormbunnie6966 Doesn’t take away from the fact breastmilk contains antibodies that formula doesn’t, & I’m not against formula at all, but you will never beat breastmilk if a mother is able to breastfeed. And what do you feed babies from? Plastic bottles, last I checked.
Oh my goodness what a wee cutie !! I’ve successfully managed to breastfeed my baby , he’s 5 months and the chunkiest wee cuddle monster 🥰 I feel so so proud being able to nurture his body outside the womb , knowing that his little pudgy tummy and squishy legs and arms , round full kissable cheeks is what I’m accomplishing for him … I’ll never be able to top this achievement 💗
@@Aphrodit16 if I’m honest I have a really tricky relationship with food , I often skip meals and I don’t always eat great portions, so it’s a bit of a fight with myself to eat properly and care for myself in order to provide the best for my lil guy , I’ve lost a lot of weight with breastfeeding, I’m below my pre pregnancy weight and I’m working on gaining weight again ☺️ but I know keeping hydrated and oats work wonders for me ☺️
@@Aphrodit16 Way back when I was doing my degree in Applied Biology, one thing I found doing the gruelling Clinical Physiology part, is that some babies develop a higher metabolic rate earlier than others, making them 'slim' looking, rather than a chonck. In any case, things to bare in mind: all babies develop according to their individual physiology; the chonck quickly disappears the moment they discover they can run, all that fat is quickly 'burnt off'; and the only real thing to worry about isn't so much thinking they're gaining insufficient weight, but, rather, inexplicable weight _loss_ , before they can walk. If in doubt, always speak to the Midwife, or specialist you rely on, post-partum ...
@@Anita_Backrub they can get sick. I was sick with the flu when I gave birth to my youngest. He got sick shortly after, but I breastfed and neither one of us got sick for quite a long time after that. I don’t think his immunity had enough time to build up initially.
I hope people understand that the fattest babies will likely be healthy and thin adults . Breastfeeding at least 1-2 years takes your chances of ever being overweight down 90%. Breastfeeding essentially gives your child their metabolism for life and also affects their facial muscular development for the better . It was scary back when people became kind of anti breastfeeding I even knew a few women putting their babies and toddlers on diets it was insane
I'm a new mom my girl is 29 days old but i can't breastfeed her because my milk supply is very low i pumped both sides but i didn't get 1 OZ milk It breaks me now she is taking formula milk
@zahamalik3197 don't give up mama! Continue to pump regularly, even if you only get 1 oz at a time, you can store it and add it together daily to make a bottle. Remember to drink plenty of water especially when pumping.
@@zahamalik3197 1 oz is not bad for starting out! If you want to increase your supply, start pumping every 3 hours around the clock for 15 minutes at a time and I bet your supply will increase some. Eat carbs and drink lots of water. It’s ok for your baby to be partly breast milk fed and partly formula fed. The small amounts of breast milk will still help a lot! But feeding your baby is great, however you need to do it - with formula or breast milk.
@@SimphiweKgala you doing nothing wrong, every baby grow up differently, not all baby gain that much weigh rather they are breastfeeding or formula. If he is gaining weigh and have dirty/wet diaper Im sure he is good, but if you feel its not enough check with your pediatric to make sure. But breastfeed baby doesnt always gain that much actually my baby girl that was exclusively breastfeeding gain very little comparing to my son that was both. I was worry too because I compare but she was just following her weigh curve. Im sure you doing great
I went to the dr with 3 of my grandsons this past week and their dr was my daughters dr also. Her youngest is 5 months. She went to listen to his lungs and he was a lil fussy. So she just took him from he and started rocking him while she listened to him. Then turned him to a hold him in her arm to finish checking him. She is truly a gift to the medical field. He is my youngest daughters first chubby baby. He was a premie born at 34wks at 6lbs 2oz, came home at 16 days weighing 6lbs 9oz and now he is 17lbs. She pumped as much as she could for him but her supply has always been so low. She pretty much went dry when he was about a month and a half old. But she gave him the best start possible. My 5yr old granddaughters arms looked like a roll of Hawaiian rolls when her arms was straight😂. She was super chunky and a booby baby till 10 months old.
Me too! My son was born at 7 lbs 1.5 ounces. When I took him for his 2 week checkup, which was really only 10 DAYS LATER, he weighed 10 lbs and 3 ounces!!! The doctor was shocked beyond measure! He said "this was THE one time he had seen that Mom and baby fit together like a hand and a glove! There IS NO WASTE HERE!" WE BOTH CHUCKLED!!!😅😂😂😂
@@seradoxa3537 I had one of each. Both perfect. I did learn more about hind milk with my 2nd kiddo and I think that helped him chub up. But who knows? My daughter was a petite thing. Like I said, both perfect. No mom shaming. Just enjoying this little short and reminiscing about how chubby my son was 14 years ago when he was a baby.
GOOD FOR YOU , MOMMA !!!!! YOU HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN EATING PROPERLY AND , IN TURN , YOUR BABY HAS BENEFITED FROM ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN FEEDING YOUR BABY !!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!! I AM SO VERY PROUD OF BOTH OF YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING !!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ !!!!!
Way to go mama! Also to any other bf mamas here in the comments: weather you bf for 2 minutes, 2 hours, 2 days etc I am so proud of you!!! Hang in there but do what is best for your situation. I'm a mom of 7 and each baby was totally different. One breastfed for 2 years, one randomly whenever she wanted, others were couple of weeks and my stillborn daughter I donated and pumped for the local NICU. Do what you can with what you are given. FED is best. Nobody can argue that. Love you all and I'm forever rooting for you!!!
I approve of this message. I was breastfeeding my son until he was 2 years old. He went from a newborn peanut to a potato within a few months as well, lol. He's 4 now, so he's back slim from being so active. ❤
Yup it also makes mom go from potato to slim. I believe the key to me being the same size I was as a teenager is breastfeeding g then keeping active once I stopped. I breastfed for two years twice and they ate all the fat off me
