@pentie2003 “Isn’t it just
so interesting how different every baby is?”
My nephew is 5 months older than my daughter and he has always been on the 1% end of the percentile chart, while my daughter has always been at the 90%+ range. She’s been bigger than him since around 4-5 months old, and my SIL gets the “tiny guy” comments. I get the “she’s huge!” ones. We both just rinse and repeat the phrase above. There is nothing else to it. If you and your dr are not concerned, then nobody else should be either. I try very hard not to make comments about kids or other people like this.
We don’t walk up to strange adults and gush over how big or small they are; I’m not sure why we do it to children.
ETA I’m going to start coming up with utterly ridiculous responses to strangers who make comments on kids appearances. “Wow, she sure is big!” “Yeah, we were going for Spidey senses but the spider bite just made her insanely hungry, we can’t get her to stop eating, and she’s doubled in size in a week! Toddlers, you know, what can you do?!”
