Small baby. Okay, I get it. He's small.

Haha sj! Weirdly our oldest is a lanky skinny little thing who doesn't eat very much so it's no wonder there's only a kg between them now.

Funnily enough our "front rower" was only 7pd born. He just loves to eat hahaha

I get this too. My daughter fell off the percentile charts for height and weight. She's back on the 5th now though. She's 22 months and still in size 0 shorts. She gets great wear out of her clothes! lol.

Haha @ bashy, me & OH we're discussing food yesterday, this baby (38weeks) would appear to be of a similar size to our first & we were at sushi train for dinner. He proceeded to try & imagine how much sushi two big boys, plus him & me would cost, & how much food is going to cost us in general. Our son is 2 in 4 odd weeks, loves sushi & will eat one or two adult sized plates at hero sushi. OH can do about 8-10 & me about 5, haha three men... I said there will be no more sushi train for us lol..

We will have to live off spag Bol!

My little dude gets those footy player comments & front rower comments.. He's not got a single roll or chub about him, but he's the height & weight of the average 3 year old & not even two.. I try to tell people, come on, he was born the size of a 6-8 week old, he's a big boy, he's never been a chubba, just all round a big baby, teeny tiny to me, but I knew he was bigger than the average..

I'm with sjkelly, my 12 month old weighed in at a hefty 13kgs. His 3 yo brother weighed 15kgs at that time so made him look even plumper.

I get sick of answering the never ending "how much do you feed that kid?!" Or "breeding up a front rower?" And the disbelief when asked how old he is when I say 12 months.

I mean he's a bottomless pit who is going to cost me a small fortune in groceries but that's none of their business ?

A lot of people think my boys are younger too. On the weekend they played with a little boy who was 13 months old (they are 16 months) and he was the same size. I sometimes just say they were born small and are still catching up.

@sjkelly, we have a nephew who is huge and it's true. Everyone expected him to behave like a 4 year old when he was only 2. It was really hard for him and his mom. The MCHN made the most stupid comment 'he's above the 100th percentile' and indicated something wasn't right. He's turned 3 now and fits better into his age group.

How can a baby 'look' hungry!? ? people really are ridiculous!

I get the opposite, my son was born 4.4kg, he's nearly 2 & he's 14-15kg. People expect so much more from him because of his size..

I get wow did you have GD, (I didn't) wow he's huge. My god he's not even 2 etc. people are assho*es lol

My poor big man!

I used to get "he looks hungry" as my ds was long and thin... I would always say, thanks but he just ate so im sure he's not (even if he was due a feed lol)! People can be so rude

My eldest son is 4 in November and is 12kg. He is so little and people are always commenting. My youngest is 17 months and 9kg. I get oh you must have had your children very close together, when I say no their is almost 2.5 years between them people look at me like I'm crazy

Yep I get this too.

I get told my son is huge for his age. He's 21 months old, weighs 15kg and is in size 3 shirts and 1 pants.

A for told off the other day cause apparently a almost 4 year old shouldn't be in a pram... Pretty sure he isn't even 2

We had Harper (9 weeks) in a pair of overalls on the weekend that we 000. I remember Holly wearing them when we were on holidays when she was 9 months old haha

I don't understand how Holly is so small. My husband's side are all tall (girls are all over 5'7) and my mums side aren't short. Also no one is super skinny. We all have a big of meat - except my husband really.

My dd is 5 mths this sat & still easily fits in 000 I get told all the time that she's a brand "newy" or "freshy " Last check up she was under 3 percentile.

It's very annoying

I feel like I could have written exactly the same post!! My dd is tiny but we are both small so she will never be a giant, she is 13 months old and still in 00. It really gives me the s*** s when people comment on her size!! They have ever since she was born it's so fricken annoying! I hear ya sista!!!!

I get it with miss almost 3 she hasn't been on the charts since she was a few weeks old size 1 falls off her but size 0 is to short and she wears a size 2-3 shoe

Yup heard it for 3 years with our daughter who is very petite. Now I have a six month old chunky monkey!! It's so funny having a big baby now.

I get the "how old is he" followed by "oh wow he's so big!" with both of them.

The next person to say it will cope "I know, I pushed them out of my hoha, any more captain obvious comments?"

My sister was teeny tiny and walked at 9 months. She was still in 000. It completely freaked people out.

My son, on the other hand, is big. People have started giving me that look when I breastfeed in public. They are shocked when he crawls, not walks. He's only 11 months but looks easily 2.

Same here! I always get omg she's so small/petite! She walked the week before her first birthday and I remember mums at playgroup being shocked because they all thought she was 7mths old! People always tell me she's chatty for her age and I'm like she's 15mths old!

She does get heaps of wear out of her clothes!

Noah has always been below the 5th percentile, eek.

That's fine by me, he can stay little! I love it ?

Jenifa, that is so true! Hahah.

Well, as much as it sucks, I'm glad I'm not alone lol

I understand your frustration! Although i get, "oh my god your son is huge!". Hes 21 months but is almost the size of his 3 year old cousin. Mind you, he has the Tongan gene that is fairly strong lol hes going to be quite tall and stocky like my pop was. Least ill feel safe! Hehe

Yes jenifa. My 8 year old is still wearing uniforms from prep

My daughter is 2 and has fallen off the percentile chart lol Small babies means you get LOTS of wear out of their close haha.

I so feel you, many times I wanna yell those comments off, my almost 4yo dd looks like a 2.5yo (most of her friends/ cousins are taller), she's healthy, normal toddler, smart etc but happen to inherit my 5ft petite family genes. Dh is 5ft10 and his family are tall.

So hoping she'll have a growth spurt soon!!

I feel your pain! I'm sick of people saying to me "oh she's fresh". Uh no she's 4 & 1/2 months ? still repping the 0000 haha.

? yeah, it's like ..I'm pretty sure I remember the day I birthed my child, lol.

I feel ya. I've been through it twice already and my 7 week old is now the sane size as my first was born.
