Hey there, fellow moms! If you’ve got a little one with some extra squish, you know that having a chubby baby comes with its own set of hilarious truths. Here are 10 things that all moms of chubby babies can relate to:

1. Your breastmilk is more like heavy cream than that low-fat stuff. Seriously, your little one is drinking the good stuff!
2. The baby’s closet is filled with just two essentials: short-sleeve tees and comfy sweatpants. You quickly learn how to roll up the pant legs because sizing up becomes your new normal. Jeans? Forget it. Your baby prefers the freedom of movement that only sweatpants can provide.
3. When packing lunches, you opt for veggies and healthy snacks. Offering anything that resembles junk food feels like a public trial. A skinny baby munching on fries? Adorable. A chubby baby doing the same? Well, let’s just say you can feel the judgmental eyes.
4. You have a couple of go-to responses ready for when someone asks, “What do you feed him?” Depending on your mood, you might say, “He’s breastfed,” or, with a wink, “Oh, mostly melted butter and ice cream.”
5. Strangers love to give your baby nicknames! From Michelin Man to Sumo Baby, you’ve heard them all. It’s like a badge of honor, right?
6. Bath time takes a bit longer because you’re on a mission to scrub between those adorable rolls. It’s a labor of love!
7. Baby-wearing was the plan, but when your son hits 25 pounds at just 5 months old, plans change. The carrier just can’t handle that level of cuteness!
8. The term “thigh gap” has a whole new meaning. It’s the cute little space between your daughter’s knee folds and leg folds.
9. Themed Halloween costumes? Yes, please! You have so much fun dressing them up in creative ways.
10. You sometimes worry they’ll never outgrow their chubby baby phase, but then they become toddlers, and you find yourself missing those delightful rolls of baby fat.
