Is chubby baby an index of a healthy baby? My child is thin for his age and I get to hear that he is unhealthy and weak, which he is not! How do I shut such people up?

Many babies are chubby when they are little and that is called baby fat. And as the baby grows he sheds the baby fat as well. Haven't you seen babies you are so chubby when little become thin by the time they are 4 or 5! And what I have learnt from such experiences is that as long as your kid is eating well playing well, you do not have to give ears to what people around you are saying. People anyway have to say something or the other so you should never ruin your piece of mind over this. As how you can shut people is by saying that he was always thin and this is how he is now. And being his mother you can trust what I am saying. And smilingly you can put a stop on the useless discussion over your kid's health.
