Do I need to lose weight?

Hey all! I’m 16 years old and among a lot of other things, my weight has been bothering me, I know I’m too young to worry about all that stuff but I can’t help it.
I’m 5ft1" and 9st5lbs, or for people outside the UK, 65 kgs. I have a typical hourglass body, small waist,average breasts and long legs, and I do love my body shape, its lovely, but I have such a belly!!! It sits out over my jeans, and when I’m sitting and it makes me so self concious, I’m not fat, I know that, I’m fine everywhere else, but this belly looks like a baby bump, I literally look 4/5 months pregnant and I can’t seem to lose the belly!!! Any tips?

I eat a fairly balanced diet, my mum doesnt keep a lot of junk food in the house, on a typical day I walk just over three miles plus all the walking up and down stairs in school and I workout and dance a lot, but this weight wont shift!!! And all my clothes look terrible on me because I need a size 12 to sit over my "bump" instead of the size 10 my hips are, so my jeans are baggy!!!!

I have multiple weddings coming up and cannot fit into my regular clothes now (5+ months preggo). I have maternity jeans but cannot for the life of me find maternity dress pants/slacks (black, gray etc.). I see them available online but I don’t want to order. I need to actually try them on in the store. What’s a good store? I live in a city so have a bunch of options but need some input. Thanks!

I am making a diaper cake for my coworker’s baby, but the baby spent the first few months of her life in the hospital, so her shower comes when she is 4 or 5 months old. What size diapers does an average 6-month-old wear? That is the diaper size I will use for the cake.

My daughter has had her ears pierced since she was 2 months old. She is now 5 months. I think it is the absolute cutest to see baby girls wearing hoops. Is 5 months too early to let her wear them? What was the earliest you let your daughter wear hoops?
Oh and im talking about the small ones. Small enough where she cant pull them out or get them caught. We have had no problems what so ever with the studs she has now she never touches them and they have never caught.

My baby has two white bumps. The bumps are surrounded by a red area that is smooth and flat and little red spots surrounding the bump. He is acting fine, but if not gone tomorrow, I will ask the doctor. Just wondering if anybody knows! He is almost 5 months old.

Baby skin rash, help!?!?

My baby will be 5 months old on the 30/12/10.
He is definitely teething but me and his dad have noticed a rash on his neck and stomach like flat tiny light red pink marks that cover that area. We have done the tumbler test and they fade to white (blanches) he also is showing no other signs of meningitis/ septicemia and after a lot of research i cant find what it is. he is feeding normally and he has no temperature and hes laughing and giggling and being his normal self. We have also noticed a few teeny tiny like ring marks on his stomach like as if he’d leant on something?! But they’re not red just skin coloured circles if that makes sense.
Is this anything to do with teething? anyone heard of this?

Day Care ?

I chose my day care lady because 2 people at work take their kids to her. They sware by her that she does a great job and so forth. The last week I have gone to pick her up she has been in the baby swing in another room away from the other kids(in the front of the house as you walk in). Some times she is sleeping and sometimes she is awake.

I have said something to my husband about it, but he keeps saying its fine. How do you feel about this? I just hope she doesn’t leave her in that swing all day!!!!! She did say something to me last week that she doesn’t want me to think she always puts Addison in her swing. I just worry!
Addison is 5 months old

My daughter is 9.5 months and I want to get her a new toy. Not a little one but one of those play "centers" maybe.

Do you have any suggestions?
Maybe Fisher Price
Or Playschool?

I would like her to be able to use it for a few months at least.
She’s army crawling and pulls up on everything if that helps

Thanks so much!!!!

My little girl is 5 months old and it is getting harder and harder to lift both her and the infant carseat everywhere. When are you supposed to switch them into a regular carseat?

how big is/was your baby at 5 months?




I’m actually starting to get worried. my son is now 20lbs. 3 oz. in 12-18 months clothes and has out grown his infant car seat. he will be 5 months old on the 18th. we made an appointment with his doctor to be checked out because when I took him in for shots the nurse told me he was overly big for his age and that she had never seen a 4.5 month old this big before. so far he has grown 1 clothing size a month since birth and now he is eating like he is getting ready to have another growth spert. I’m so broke from buying him a new wardrobe each month. most kids his age are half his size. he is bigger than his 1 year old cousin. it’s crazy. what do you think? is there anything to be worried about? and the thing is he’s not over weight he’s just very very tall.
