Is this normal ?

Question

I am a first time mom. I don’t know anything. Literally learning as I go. I also know that every baby is different. But I would like to know your opinion on my baby’s belly. It’s seems so bloated and disproportionate. Is this normal for a 6 week old ? I started to think maybe I’m feeding her too much ? Idk maybe I’m overthinking it too. Please no judgement, this is an honest question.

Answer

I think babies just get that weird shape. Their little hips/bums don't put on as much weight as the rest of them. My boy is the same. Chubby arms and legs, double chin, chubby belly, tucks in right at the hips. He reminds me of when you see lizards spread out on rocks, with their bellies all round 😂

Answer

Thats normal! I thought the same thing (pictures dont seem as big as in real life) and I asked my midwives. Totally normal!

Answer

I’ve read about, and talked to two different pediatricians about “over feeding” and it’s basically not a thing with an infant. They will not eat if they are too full. Even while comfort feeding! They will cry and complain if milk is coming out and they don’t want it. Besides that my baby’s belly is also the same!

Answer

I've been wondering this exact thing tonight. My baby is 6 weeks also, breastfed and her belly seems big. It doesn't seem hard and she's peeing and pooping normal so I was hoping it was normal?

Answer

I think it’s normal I thought the same thing FTM mom too

Answer

Could be over fed if bottlefeeding. Is the tummy hard? If not, I’d say just full. 
As long as baby isn’t fussy, having weird stools, I think you’re fine!

Answer

Looks normal to me :) but if concerned always ask your family doctor or Paediatrician!
