Hi! I have a 11 months old daughter. I feel she is a little weak according to her age. Can u suggest as to what to add in her diet.

At my daughter's 10 month well visit she weighed in at 19lbs 15oz and she was 29 1/4 inches.

My 10 month is 23 lbs. and my doctor told me that when he was 5 months and weighed 21 lbs. Do not worry about it. My first son was 22 lbs at 5 months and is now my skinniest child.

I have a very petite baby girl... Still at 11 months she is only 18 pounds and that is with clothes and a diaper on...As long as baby is moving around (crawling/ walking) then I would say he is just fine... Every baby is different...

my son zachary weighs 24 lbs and is 32 inches long and the docs said he is fine he is a growing healthly baby!

My twins are 24 pounds and 30 inches tall. And they are 11 1/2 months old. That is so ridiculous. And mine were 4 pounds and 8 ox when they came home.

Aww Ashlie, My baby boy was born on August 18th! They are a day apart! I just love talking to people who have had babies at the same time as me!!! :)

WOW... When my baby was 10 months old at his check up he weighed 21.4 and the doctor told me that if he went down in his percentile any more that we would have to start upping his calories... he went from 95th percentile to 75th percentile to now 50th percentile. He has stayed between 19 and 21.4 lbs for about 4 months, but I just assume he is thinning up because of him crawling and moving as much as he does... he's not fat!! :) Goodness gracious!!! Also, his height is 28 inches and they said he was kind of short... I couldn't believe that!

Mine weighs 24 lbs 10 oz at 11 months....it sounds like you need to switch drs...mine has never said that to us, they will thin out when they start walking

I would follow what everyone else has said and just go with your gut instinct, because 99.9% of the time if not everytime you are right about your baby. No one knows them as well as you do. You are the expert and if your doctor/ped is making you feel unsure, then try and find a new one, as they should be supportive of you. As a new mum you have enough to worry about without this kind of thing being said. My girls and now son, have all gone thru really chubby phases and then had massive growth spurts. It all works out over time.

MY chububba is 28 lbs! with little ham hock legs he weights the same as his 2 year old brother! Hes just a big boy!

Vanessa - posted on 07/12/2010

my son was over 9 pounds when he was born. at his 9 month check up he had doubled his weight. after that he hit a huge growth spurt! he his eleven months old now and weighs around twenty five pounds. he his also almost as tall as his 2 year old brother! i started worring that i was feeding my son too much bc he acted hungry all the time so i fed him all the time. my doctor said that the baby knows best, and as long as they are happy they r fine. i wouldn't worry a bit!

Deanna - posted on 07/12/2010

Find a new Dr. It is very rude to call a 10 mo. old baby fat. My Dr. mentioned they don't really start worrying about this until around 2 years because it changes so much. My daughter was 20 lbs. at her 9 mo. check up and the Dr. was happy with this. She was less than the 3rd percentile at birth.There is no need to cut down on his food if you are giving him plenty of healthy choices. When they start walking, they slim down. Don't worry about it!!

Molly - posted on 07/12/2010

oh no London is 21 pounds my doctor said she fine she is also 27 inches get a new doctor..

My 10 month old weighs 20 lbs and is 30 inches long and the dr said he is normal.

My son is 10 months and weighs 22lb 10oz and health visitor is happy with his weight you know your baby better than any one else so i say stick with what you know is right for your baby that is what i do doctors and health visitors are working frm text books and babies aren't all the same

*Lisa* - posted on 07/12/2010

20 lbs is not fat for a 10 month old at all!! Mine is 18.5lbs and is 27 inches also. Yours sounds fine!!

Ashlie - posted on 07/12/2010

thank u guys for all the help :) i feel much better now.. and yeah at birth my son weighed 6 lbs. 7.1 oz... when we left the hospital he was only 5 lbs... 12 oz... so he actually lost a lil weight then... but his dad is really short... which explains why he grew only 10 inches from when he was born.... and im only 5'5... the problem with where i live.. is its a small town... not many ped. here.... the next one would be 3 hrs from here....

Jennifer - posted on 07/11/2010

My boy weighs 22 lbs. I swear he had a growth spurt the other night and grew right before my eyes. I can't believe your doctor said that to you. If he/she continues to bully you that way I would switch peds. Ask around...your friends should be able to recommend a good one. I had to do that when I was unhappy with my pediatrician. Now we love our doctor :)

Tricia - posted on 07/11/2010

my son is almost 1, but when he went for his 10 month apt. he was 24 lbs and 30 inches long. He was in the 97% for height and 87% for weight. The doctor didn't have any concerns, although he sounds like a big boy he really is slim :0) my husband is 6'4 so I'm sure they assume my son is going to be big. In comparison to my little one, yours sounds just fine!!

Hazel - posted on 07/11/2010

I cant believe your doctor called your son fat! At 20lbs he is hardly fat. My daughter is 10 and a half months old and weighs 19lb 1oz and is about 30th percentile so its hardly big! Some people are just crazy! But it is annoying eh!

Heather - posted on 07/11/2010

D was 21.5lb (55%) & 31"(97%+) @ 9m. He was 8.15lb & 21.5" when born. Your baby seems right on tract. When your baby begins to crawl more, you will see a drop in weight so don't worry at all.

Molly - posted on 07/11/2010

i would find a new doctor if i were you.

Daisy - posted on 07/11/2010

my son is 11 months and weighs 24.25lbs 29.5 inches and his doctor says he is fine....I think as long as you baby moves around, plays and is generally healthy you shouldn't worry as such.....some babies just have heavy bones.

Rebecca - posted on 07/10/2010

At his 10 month visit, my son weighed 23lbs 12oz, and was 26 inches long. Our doctor said he looks great and is very happy, and said he's not fat. He is in the 84th percentile for weight and only the 24th percentile for height, but she said all babies grow at different rates and once he goes from cruising to walking he will slim down - plus if he hits a height growth spurt he'll slim out visually, too. I'm not worried about it!

Evelyn - posted on 07/10/2010

My son weighed 23lbs and was 30" long at his 9 month appt. Babies aren't fat. Don't stop doing what you are doing.

Kenya - posted on 07/10/2010

My son is now 10 1/2 months, but at his 9-month check-up he weighed 20 lbs and was 28 inches long. I'm not sure how much he weighs now because I take him to the doctor every 3 months. He has consistently gained about 2 lbs every month; the only month he gained 3 lbs was when he first started eating cereal and baby food. So he probably will weigh about 24 lbs when he makes 11 months on the 21st of July.

My little girl is 11months old and weighs 18lbs 3oz. Shes on the move all time and im sure ur little one is just fine as he is, he wouldnt eat if he wasnt hungry, xx

Barbie - posted on 07/10/2010

i just recently changed my pediatrician and when i brought my son to his new pediatrician for his 9 month check up, he was 24lbs 10oz and 30 inches. she told me he was overweight and i needed to stop feeding him so much. i gave her a run down of what my son eats and she told me to stop feeding him formula, only use about 4 oz of formula in between meals as a snack. needless to say, i didnt listen to her...you have to follow your mothers intuition on matters such as these, and keep in mind your family genes and your partners family genes. i dont feel as though my son is fat/overweight. his father is almost 6'4", kinda looks like a string bean, really tall and skinny. while my family is about average height but we are all "big boned". plus you have to look at how active your child is. if they arent that active than of course its expected that they will be a bit chubbier, but once they start getting really active they will slim down. i have noticed that since my son has started walking and almost running away from me, he is starting to slim down, plus he is also going through a growth spurt.....i wouldnt worry about it, in my opinion a chubby baby is a healthy baby

Neisha - posted on 07/10/2010

Your baby is not fat because when I took my daughter to her 9 month appt. she was a little over 21 lbs. (Now 22 lbs) and they said she wasn't fat but she was at the top of her weight for her age. So whoever told you that TOTALLY wrong. My advice so that he won't become overweight is that between bottles feed him whole grain snacks or yogurt melts.

Barbara - posted on 07/10/2010

My daughter is just about 20 pounds, change doctors!

Jodie - posted on 07/10/2010

what a mean doctor!! At my son's 8mth check up, he was 11.5kg (23pds) and 76cm (30inch). He started of being a nice 'normal' (average) 7lb6oz and 20.5inches but sky rocketed to the 98th percentile for both height and weight within a few mths. My child health nurse is very pleased with his growth and compliments me on my feeding. He was exclusively BF for the first 6mths and BLW solids after that. Ignore your doctor, you're baby is just thriving! I don't think you can worry too much about weight until well into their second year, once they start walking etc. Unless you are giving them too much junk food off course. :-)

Stacey - posted on 07/09/2010

I have noticed that the docs these days are very text book. They have your baby on a line graph with percentiles etc..and if you are up or down on the darn line graph they tell you foolishness and panic. Chloe is a small baby in the 10th percentile..25-26 inches long and 10 months..at her 9 month check she was 14.9 lbs and her doc gave me this face like I am not feeding my baby. Chloe is breast fed...and very healthy. just small like mom and dad. Now she is almost 16 lbs and I am not worried. If you are in a practice with different Ped doc just change to one who will not tell you foolishness.

Banu - posted on 07/09/2010

no it is normal, keep feeding him, you can find weight and height chart of the babies according to their months. my son was 21 pound when he was almost 10 months old and my doctor told me he was average- above 50 percentile but no more.

Michelle - posted on 07/09/2010

like someone said before they grow at their own weight. just because your baby has some baby fat to them does not make them over weight or my daughter would have been over weight since 3 months of age

Chrissy - posted on 07/09/2010

wow... my little girl was 24 pounds at her 9 month check up and her Dr. said she is doing GREAT and to keep up what we are doing...

Michelle - posted on 07/09/2010

my daughter is 10 and half months weighing 32 lbs lol and her doctor says she is very healthy and grow out of the weight

Lyndsey - posted on 07/09/2010

My son is 10 months. He weighs 19- 20 pounds, last appointment he was 18.9 but he was sick and gained some weight now. he is 28 1/2 pounds. he is tall and slender. i cant imagine at one inch shorther anyone calling him fat. That was not ok for your doctor to say that.

Kelly - posted on 07/09/2010

i cant believe a doctor would phrase it that way to you!! mean doctor... i dont think he sounds big at all. my son is a peanut though. he was 17 pounds 10 ounces and 28.5 inches around 10 months old. it only put him in the 10th % for weight but 60th % for height.

Corie - posted on 07/09/2010

My daughter was seen this week for an ear re-check (she's had multiple ear infections). She weighed 25lb 8 oz and was 31 inches long. I don't believe your son is large. Our doctor has made comments that "bad eating habits start young". Our daughter is just following in her father's foot steps. He was about 31 lbs at a year. Oh and my baby girl is 10 1/2 months old (DOB: 8/20/09)

N'Keesia - posted on 07/09/2010

I am appauled that your pediatrician called your son fat!!!! My daughter weighed 21lbs. when she went for her 9 month well baby visit. My pediatrician assured me that she is ok. Her father is a big guy and she weighed over 7lbs when she was born (already in the 95th percentile). As long as your son is healthy and you're not over feeding him, he should be fine.

Lauren - posted on 07/09/2010

When we went for our 9 month, my daughter was 27 inches long and just under 16 lbs. The doctor was satisfied with where she fell on the growth charts as she has always measured small since birth. I think the main thing that they consider is that she is making positive strides in her growth and developement. It was really inappropriate for the Dr. to say your child was "fat". That comment would upset me too. Maybe next time you should ask for a better explanation of her "terms"- the Dr. could maybe explain his or her concerns better-especially if they realize that they offended you.

Chellsea - posted on 07/09/2010

I can't believe your doctor called your child fat.. that is uncalled for and shouldnt be allowed. Every baby is different and if your son enjoys his meals and your happy giving him what you are then keep doing it. You son will soon lose weight once he is more active. My niece is 13 months and only weighs 17lb 11oz and eats all the time and is very active, my daughter is 10 months and weighs 18lb 13oz doesnt eat much but still very active so it just shows every baby is different. x

Sasha - posted on 07/08/2010

my almost 11 mo old weighs almost 27 lbs and is almost 30 in. long! babies aren't fat, they are healthy!!

Kristy - posted on 07/08/2010

That's crazy! My daughter was over 20lbs and about 27 inches long at her 9 month appointment and my doctor said she was doing just fine and following her growth trends. I would find another doctor! That's just rude.

Amandra - posted on 07/08/2010

yes, my son went in for his9 mo. appt. and he was 24.6lbs. and 30in. His doctor had nothing bad to say about him or the amount he eats. There is nothing wrong with his weight and he will thin out when he starts to walk and get around more.
