  I have just been and had a look at Neve's little red book. At 23 weeks she weighed 17lb 4oz, she is also quite tall and an absolutely perfect weight. If you hv and gp are happy then tell the others to sod off. It makes me so cross that people feel qualified to call your PERFECT baby overweight. She is fine, you should be very proud of yourself and very cross with them. Stop questioning yourself and your baby and tell them that you are her mother and you know she is fine. What size clothes is she in?

  i agree with the other 2 posts!
  
  tell them to sod off!!
  
  otherwise, you are going to let them niggle away at you, and then you'll start believing them, and think she needs to diet!!
  
  babies need to eat when they ask for it, and until she can run round, and "work it off", she eats as and when she feels hungry. babies at that age cant be fat for gods sake!
  
  she sounds perfect to me, so tell them where to go!

  If at 6 mnths she is in 6-9 month clothes how can they think she is overweight!!!! Sounds to me like they are just being difficult - treat your in laws like children, ignore the bad behaviour and reward the good lol!

  tell them to sod off! Why do people think they have a right to comment on your baby in a negative way. My little man was 20lb6oz at 6 months, I got so sick of people especially my inlaws calling him fat, he has since birth always been on the 91st centile for both weight and height so he is completley in proportion. He didnt walk till nearly 19 months and my mil had a field day with that, telling me and anyone else who would listen that it was because he was too fat. In the end he was seen by a paediatrician becuase of the delayed walking and even he said he was not overweight, he was and still is in complete proportion and the reason for his delayed mobility is becuase he has a condition called hypermobility and hyper extension which basically means his joints are not very stable or supportive and has naff all to do with his weight. Needless to say I couldnt wait to tell the mil, didnt shut her up tho, she still tells me he is fat grrrrrrrr :evil:
