Worried about weight
So my HV didn’t seem concerned as my little girl is fairly tall but my mum has made me really paranoid my baby is too heavy. She’s 11 month 2 weeks and weighs 1st 7lb. Just out of interest, what weight is your baby?
My little girl is a good eater and hasn’t really turned her nose up at much. She’s chunky on the thighs but no where else. We were induced because she was measuring small

That seems like a normal weight. What percentile is she?
My daughter is the same weight and the health visitor wasn’t concerned despite her moving from the 9th percentile to the 75th as her height matches perfectly. I wouldn’t worry, my daughter also enjoys her food which I think is a good thing
My wee girl just turned 1 there on the 1st and she's only 8.9kg so lighter than your wee girl I wouldn't worry every child is different and aslong as she's a healthy weight for her thats all that matters
My daughter is 1 in 2 weeks time and got weighed today and she's 20.5 pounds and the health visitor was happy with that, don't let your mum stress you out, the health visitors know what they're talking about:)
My boy is 26lbs, and ironically not a huge eater and doesn’t have much milk anymore. Just always been big! My LO is on about 95th percentile. I wouldn’t worry!!
My boy is just under 13kg and is above the 100th centile and the same with height. The HV isn’t concerned as he’s in proportion. I would ignore anyone that isn’t medically trained. My son isn’t a big eater either and only 2kg less than my nearly 4 year old daughter!
