Does anybody have big baby?
And can share about ya baby growth till 1-2 years old. Means how is ya baby height and weight when reaching 1-2 years old, and how's ya baby appetite.

My baby is 7+ week old, and his weight is 5.93 kg and 62 cm height.
Paed mention that he is like a 5-6 month old baby...
Paed also mention that he do encounter big baby and it's kinda normal.

It's normal.

Genes play a big role

My mum oso said my baby looks very big cuz she doesn't look like 30 days old....n i guess gene really plays a big role cuz both me n my husband r tall n not thin type...so she should be the same gua...

Ohhh.. Thanks

Yeah, a lot of ppl also say the same thing about my baby.
Btw, can share ya baby weight and height

Dun worry is normal. My son now just 6month, ppl tot he is 1years old baby. Big baby is good ma....hahaha...

I dun know, hvnt go back PPUM for her injection. It is scheduled on 13/2...

I only know when just born, 3.36kg n 47cm

Waa.. about the same as ya baby..
My baby was born with 3.37 kg and 51 cm

Usually we weight baby using this method:
- Get a normal weighing device
- Weight myself, A
- Weight myself + baby, B
Then baby weight = B - A

How much do you feed your baby per session?
When he was born, he weighed 3.15kg, 50cm.
At 8 weeks, he was 61cm and weighed about 5.6kg. He's now 9 weeks.
His growth rate is shocking!
He's got a big appetite though, taking in 4oz every 3-4 hours, and that's already under control. Or else he can just consume 4oz every 2 hours.
I'm scared to imagine how big he's gonna be if he's not on his current diet now...

ohh... Thanks... I was kinda worry when doctor say baby is like a 5-6 month old baby, and advice us that we can start to use 6-12 month old cloths...

Now I know why my baby doesn't fit into the car seat infant chair when we're hunting for baby car seat.

Aiks... big baby is good ar??? I kinda worry especially he is above 95% percentile of the weight and height when he just 1 month old only...

Here is my baby feeding volume
0 - 2 week @ 3 scoop & 90 ml [baby usually finish till 50-60 ml]
2 - 4 week @ 4 scoop & 120 ml [baby usually finish till 70-90 ml]
4 - 7 week @ 4 scoop & 120 ml [baby usually finish till 100-120 ml]

As for schedule,
0 - 4 week @ every 2 - 2.5 hours
4 - 7 week @ every 2.5 - 3 hours [Average is about 3 hours]

Found a website, http://www.childgrowthcalculator.com
With ya baby info which is 8 weeks, ya baby is very tall and fit/slim
Weight = 5.6 kg (75.8 percentile)
Height = 61 cm (97.7 percentile)

thanks to growth hormones in nearly every food we consume, baby size will surely get larger as generations go by. but it will come to a point where food will become too little on this planet and all the sizes will reduce again

just record the height and weight in a chart or if they give a good book from hospital.. and check on the growth rate..

then also check for milestones..

We know the growth rate already, and has shoot up to 95+ percentile in terms of weight and height.
Need to get feedback / opinion / sharing discussion with parent whom have big baby

Worry not... nowadays got company / government exploring on space
It will come to a point human may live in Mars

Maybe we can jump and strength like John Carter

My baby is also quite big. He is around 10kg +, 75cm, at about 8 months old...

my kiddo soon to be 18months. height around 33inches

WOW WOW... ya baby is very big size !!!
What did you feed ya baby? and how often?
I believe either you or ya hubby or both are tall and big size

http://www.childgrowthcalculator.com/
Gender = Boy
Weeks old = 8 months
Weight = 10.5 kg [98.6 percentile]
Height = 75 cm [97.7 percentile]

I got asked my PAED is my son growing normal and he said, nothing to worry. If baby not growing that make us more worry...hahahaha...

My DS is 8kg 70cm at 6month. He is drinking 6oz every 2.5hour.

He born, weight = 3.8kg & height = 64cm

Actually big or small doesnt really matter as long as healthy. My son is 2 years old but now 17 - 18kg. When he was born, he is 3.9kg. When the paed mark my son on the graph, everything is break record!!! And the dr said that graph is from USA for westerner but yet both my son exceed it. Their father (my hubby) is 6'3". I agree with what most say here, gene plays a role.

Just so you know you're not the only one out there, so everything's fine!

This post has been edited by merchant9: Feb 5 2013, 11:04 PM

Yup, I am 170cm, my hubby 178cm. My parents are very tall as well

Paeds said baby's BMI ok, means weight and height proportionate...

TS was your baby big at birth?

Diabetics tend to have big babies. Genes is also a contributory factor.

Normally a baby would lose some weight during the first week then gradually put on weight.

Your baby seems fine, the doctor said so too.

My gal is 4.7kg 56 cm at 6 weeks...she was 3.3kg n 47 cm at birth.

Waa... ya husband is about 190 cm height.
And WOW.. ya baby boy exceed 100% percentile when ya boy is 17-18kg at 2 years old

Btw, at 2 years old, how is ya baby food consumption? And is he very active type of person?
And is he above 80 cm height?

Waaa.. Confirm gene already... Thanks

My baby weight was 3.37 kg when born means baby is 57.9 percentile
As for height... sigh... the doctor hand writting need some deciphering and will ask the doctor on the next visit

My wife did a diabetic test during pregnancy and result shows no diabetic
Yes, my baby did lose some weight during the first week

KohSin, ya baby gal is getting taller woor

Birth
3.3 kg => 57.9 percentile
47 cm => 13.6 percentile

6 weeks
4.7 kg => 72.6 percentile
56 cm =>84.1 percentile

Good. i only scared she will become a fatty nia cuz she eats a lot

Smart way to weight your baby! I was thinking of buying a luggage weighing scale and put my baby into the nappy and hook the nappy up with the weighing scale. Your method is smarter!

my baby boy born weighing 4kg, on average it is a heavy baby.
he is now 2 months old and weighing 6.2kg, still a heavy baby.

we are controlling his milk intake a bit now. Doctor said so far still ok.

Looks like ya baby weight percentile is dropping and might need to wait for some time before ya baby weight will stabilize at which percentile
Btw, what's ya baby height? And what you feed ya baby?
- Formula Milk or
- Formula Milk with Breast Milk or
- Breast Milk

Birth (Week = 0 week)
Weight = 4 kg (96.4 percentile)

2 months old
Weight = 6.2 kg (91.9 percentile)

Hope everybody can measure their baby weight easily without the need to purchase a special weight machine for baby...

Do you use Brillkids product??
If yes, can share what product and how do you find it... Thanks

the first 2 weeks are formula then formula and breast milk.
From 5 weeks onwards to now 9th weeks full breast milk.

hope his weight will not go off chart.

Yes, I do :-) I'm currently using the black & white flash cards for my 3 month old baby. Most of the time she will look attentively on the cards. Good way to calm her down ;-)

Actually my baby eat quite a lot. My parents believe to give as much as he can eat. My in law believe to control the diet not to expand the tummy unnecessarily. If we go out for dinner, he can eat one big rice like adult and often more. He is also very very active, run, fall down, etc. Just like normal kids but every time fall down, continue running, not scared. As for the height, not sure cause have not measure recently. Now that you asked, I also become curious. Will try to measure tonight.

I don't have yet a baby however those kind of stuff is not a problem sometimes giving them the right food with nutrition will help them to grow up and healthy.

im that type of baby. Easy to gain weight and hard to put off weight.. Im damn fat now. T.T

Can share ya current height and weight?
is ya parent big size too? And do you ever attempt to slim down or exercise more?

Im currently 180cm with 120kg. @@. Yea, did attempt to slim down and exercise more. Really envy those who can eat alot and stay slim

gosh!!!
ya weight is extremely overweight...
ya really need to cut down ya food intake...

when my baby was borned, i lost 5 kg because so many things to do and have to endure some hunger as baby cry during meal time

Ok just got these measurements yesterday:
Son age: 27 months, 16kg, 92cm.

From the measurement website, ya baby is very chubby... is it??
Gender = Boy
Age = 27 months
Height = 92 cm [78.8 percentile]
Weight = 16 kg [98.6 percentile]

No, he's not chubby but big bone like his father. It's inconvenient for me to post up a photo on the internet because I'm paranoid over this missing kids incident else I would have shared one here.

No worry about the picture
And I do agree about ya view as I'm kinda worry about missing kids incident nowadays

icic... now it make sense on the weight as ya baby have big bones

i love to have the big baby
easy to carry...

If you are using Apple products, you can download iPediatric to track development of your baby. I like this app and I can record down all my LO milestone ie first teeth, first solid, when he starts crawling, etc.

My LO's record:

Gender: Boy

Birth: 3.36 kg / 51 cm
2 months: 5.40 kg / 60 cm
3 months: 6.30 kg / 63.5 cm
4 months: 7.32 kg / 67 cm
6 months: 8.00 kg / 72.5 cm

My LO's weight is on average but height is mostly 97 percentile.

MY LO

Birth : 3.73kg / 53cm
8mths : 11.8kg /78cm

*gotta dig his growth chart and update this soon


he's really big! Wearing 18-24mths baby cloth. But i think it is normal because i myself is 187cm and my wife is 175cm.

my little laughing buddha (boy) is now 9.7kg and his is 7 months old....apparently his head is also quite big...97 percentile.

but his twin sister is only 7.6kg....

both of them eat almost the same timing...3 hours....but boy is 4oz and girl is 3.5oz.

Gosh, 97 percentile for head circumference ? In the future, he will be very bright and clever!! According to the recent article I read, bigger head baby have bigger brain thus higher IQ. How I envy big head babies!

latest update... my baby is currently 5.5 months old and weight about 9+ kg.
Last doctor visit when my baby is 5 months old, his weight is 9.06 kg and height 71 cm

And my back got pain liao... Today, when I carry baby with my straight hand, suddenly my back scream ouchhhhhh...
My wife have a hard time to carry him in the car too, and her hand is shaking after carrying for more than 10 mins
My wife's sister have backpain too after carrying for 1 day

Anybody experience this situation? And how do you overcome this especially when baby is growing to big size baby??

I got similar situation on my first baby. I even need to eat painkiller and many other pills that I don't remember. Even need MRI to check. Bcoz it worsen till I can't even write. Then, cannot tahan already. Doctor say really cannot carry your child anymore if I want to get better. So, I find ways to play with my baby so I need not carry him. Then, I found that he like to play with his blanket. So, I'm saved.

Try to find other ways to entertain your baby besides carrying.

Mind to share ya baby weight
Thanks for ya idea and will find more entertainment for baby so that he don't want to be carry.. lol
FYI: I just had another pain when i carry baby during wee hour on today...

He was crying initially, then i carry him and shout arrggggg when the pain kicks in
Then he stop crying and look at me for a while...
After a while, he resume the crying...

My boy's at birth is 3.0kg/51cm. Came out thin but but always have long feeding time. So, gain weight really fast. I remember at 9 months, I brought my baby to the clinic. Babies still have to undress everything to scale (lie down to scale because still cannot stand up). The nurse tell me, "Eh...satu tahun ke atas tak payah buka baju. Timbang berdiri saja". Hahaha...you can imagine how big he is. He is not fat u know...just solid and tall.

TS: Find a good 跌打 (chinese physiotherapist), rather than get tonnes of medicine. This case, meds can't heal you. Also, a tukang urut bidan (I think that's what they call) for your wife. My area, I go for malay/siamese (thai style) really good. Can help ease the pain.

Try to observe what catches your babies attention. I got my son on a baby walker around 5+ months since he likes to jump. When I hold him, he just jumps non-stop. I counted once you know...1000 times! I yg tak tahan. I stopped him, he's not even tired yet.

What else I did:

Lay down a thin big mattress on the floor. Play toss around. Make it exciting. Boxing with teddy bear...let him punch also. Play inside blanket or a tent. Some more you can lie down more...hahaha

And many more...you'll get more creative from there

Walau... 1000 times
now i can see baby got lots of energy inside him

So far, we know baby like water... i think it's because I've always turn on the tap water in the bathroom to sooth him when he cry.
Now when I bring him to the bathroom, he'll look very focus on the sink...
And he also like to stand and sit, and don't like to lie down
I kinda like the ideas that you suggested... Thanks
- Baby in walker
- Play toss around
- Boxing with teddy bear
- Play inside blanket/tent

hahaha...later when your baby is grow bigger, like mine (5 yo)...your tap water always run coz he turn the tap on but always forget turn it off

That's why they say a baby has more stamina than a badminton player

It's the genes

my gal weigh 6.2kg n 61cm when she was 4 & 1/2 months........i think is becuz she is mostly breastfed, n now exclusively bf so maybe her weight gain is a bit slow gua.........but doc said is ok, dun wry cuz i did ask her bout it.........

ur baby really big size @.@
