Skinny baby?

Question

Does anyone out there have a skinny baby? My little dude hasn’t gained any weight on his legs and arms and he’s 6 weeks. Will he chunk up or will he stay skinny? Is this normal? Such a silly worry.. I know, but he looks so different than other babies! Haven’t seen any that look like my fella 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

My lo was born 5lbs10oz and going to be 2 months on the 3rd and he’s currently around 9lbs

Answer

Not sure if you breastfeed or formula but those usually play a role. Breast milk can be digested faster which is why there is more poop while formula stays longer hince why there is less poop and it is more solid. Breastfed babies tend to not have as many rolls. This is ok. Both rolly polly babies and not are healthy. Also 6 weeks is young all his nutrients are probably going to grow in in length. He is perfectly healthy. Our 6 week old is just the same! Best wishes!

Answer

My sister’s 3 kids have all been super skinny and lightweight compared to my Rollie pollies. Which sort of matches how we looked as kids she was a skinny and I was thicker. Don’t worry you have a cutie who is healthy and growing!

Answer

My baby is super skinny too, all her clothes are either too short or too wide 🤦‍♀️

Answer

He may chunk up, but some babies dont get those little rolls! My niece is 14 months old and has never really had much chub! She's long and pretty lean!

Answer

My first was a skinny baby like that, never had any rolls. He’s 2.5yo now and is still real skinny but perfectly healthy.

Answer

He will eventually plump out lol my first son at his lightest was 5lbs 6oz (was born premature due to preeclampsia) and by 4 months he was 22lbs my son I just had May 13th was 7lbs 14oz and 20" at birth and is now 24" and 13lbs. He's getting chunky all over but mostly in the belly, while my first son looked like a Michelin man 😂

Answer

Yes my baby still has skinny arms and legs.

Answer

Doctor should be monitoring growth -  both weight and height to make sure in line with each other.
