Anyone else has a “skinny” baby?

Question

My newborn is a healthy weight and gaining weight like she should and my pediatrician says she looks amazing. But her arms and legs are quite skinny, almost like she’s all bone! Everyone else’s babies I see they all have the cute baby chub.

Answer

My son is that way. He is always in 30 or 20 percent for weight but 90 percent for height. He never had that baby chub but is perfectly healthy and eats all day

Answer

Every baby is different.  You have a lean baby, which is fine!!  They are still adorable!  You may find they will be able to move slightly easier too.
