I have seen some posts from moms with preemies that they got annoyed at the comment, "your baby is so tiny!" I never felt bad about this comment....Just wondering if it's because my baby was a preemie girl and well, in our society, girls are "supposed" to be small and boys are "supposed" to be big. Just wondering what you think =]

It has never bothered me I love my tiny little cuddly girl. I get told all the time how tiny she is. I just think about how tiny she was when she was born and how far she has come

I love hearing it and being asked how old my little girl is! Then you can blow their minds with their little story! The greatest gifts arrive in the smallest of packages! It is soooo true!

I never minded people saying Mia was tiny either, yes she had a bit more of fight ahead fo her to get the "average"' but her Dad and I think she's perfect :) small but perfect:)

I loved that my daughter, Emily, was so tiny. I know that she worked so hard to stay alive and I was so proud of her, I didn't care that people were judgemental about her size. I knew what she went through, and that's all that mattered. Plus today she's 23lbs!

that never bothered me at all. in fact people were always like omg she sooo tiny and beautiful. and she still is tiny. she is 3yrs and 9 months old she weighs just about 25lbs. her lil cousin who is 9 months old is about 23lbs. lol. it is annoying that we cant just go to a store and buy her just any outfit. she always has to try it on...she hates it. lol. what did annoy me was when some stranger would try to touch her, they wouldnt even ask. aghhhh, that angered me!!!

it doesnt bother me at all! my little one is a fighter! And I actually hear more of "She has gotten soooo big!" and "she looks so plump!" Parents that havent had preemies usually dont know what to say so I dpnt let it bother me.

I never got annoyed with it and i heard it both time and have one of each.. I loved it.. just ment that they had to fight a little harder to prove them self.. I think that some people make think that way.. I just needed to know that they were here and doing the best that there little tiny small bodies could do..
