My baby is in 9-12 month clothes at 4 months

So my daughter is only 4 months old and is in 9-12 month clothes. She is constantly hungry lately and a 210ml bottle isn't satisfying her so she is grizzling after until her next feed. It is exhausting but I don't like giving her more as thr HV are already judging me it feels for her weight. I have only ever fed her on demand, same as my son and there isn't anymore I can do! I'm running out of clothes for her so quickly as she is going through sizes and nappies like nothing else :( Please say I'm.not the only one with a chubby baby?

Don’t worry at all. I have a 2yr old and a 10m old. I breastfed both. My eldest was in 12m clothes by 4m! And 2year clothes by her first birthday. She was chunkyyyyy. Doing nothing different my youngest is 10months and can fit 6m clothes. Babies are all different :) My doctor said there’s nothing to worry about with a big baby, they’re healthy and strong. And no concerns especially if they’re all in proportion. You’re doing great 😊

My eldest daughter was wearing 3-6 month old clothes when she turned one year old. She was walking really confidently by then too, so I'd get comments on why I let her walk at such a young age because she looked like she was a tiny baby. My second daughter was and is super chunky, and even has a bigger shoe size, so my eldest daughter gets hand me downs from her younger sister 🤣 They are all different! If baby is not eating properly, isn't well, isn't developing typically, there might be a problem. But if baby is healthy, then there's no problem! (and who doesn't love a chunky baby 😍)

My little boy is 6 and a half month and 9-12 month clothes just fits at the moment. His daddy was a big baby so we expected to have a chunky baby as well. Feeding him on demand,too. However, not to scare you but when we went to see the GP (for an other reason ) she was so surprised how big/tall he is that she asked us to go back to mesure him properly and make sure its genetic and nothing else. 🤔 The appointment is tomorrow, so I can't tell more atm. Might be good to mention it to your doctor , better to make sure that everything is ok with her. :)
