its more imp to have a healthy pregnancy, cakes and durian u can indulge in once a while to satisfy your taste buds but i do not think u shd eat it just for sake of gaining more weight for a chubby baby coz its not healthy either.

actually newborns looks small, pink and a bit like piggy :p (mine looks like a pink piglet when born) and they will lose some weight after the 1st month, gain back again after 2nd month onwards. So most babies will look chubby when they are 4-6months old.:001_302:

Hi gal,

yes... taking chocolates n durian will increase your baby's weight for my case. i taken 2 pkts of kinder bueno & had put on 1.5 times than usual weight that i put on within a week. :eek: i took durian once awhile too.

:we2Randy-git:doc told me that my gal is about 3.4kg 2 weeks before i due but end up my gal was 4.254kg. ended up i had an emerg c-sect after 15 hrs of labour b'cos my gal was too big.

Hence, this shows that baby weight is only based on estimation and can varies a lot. moreover, baby puts on more weight if you bf than giving formula milk. my friend bf her baby & from 3.3kg becomes 7.1kg when reaches 8 weeks compared to mine was only 6.2kg plus.

I think it depends on the parents genes too whether the bb will b big size anot but like what cancan says a healthy bb is more impt than a chubby one.. I'm too bfding my son but he's not a chubby bb just nice type I think it's cause hubby's the compact type

eat all the sweet stuff in moderation.... juz enought to satisfy ur cravings will do..... dun try to eat more juz to gain more weight for baby.... coz towards the end of the pregnancy, baby will tend to gain more weight, by that time baby may be too big and u will regret eatting so much before.....

As long as ur gynae says ur baby is healthy weight then its ok already....

Dun follow in my footsteps.. I ate toooo much of chocolate, durian, sweet stuff, cookies, ALL in the name of baby's sake. My baby was born spotty. Doc say its due to all the heaty food I ate during my pregnancy. Lucky thing is, the spots were gone after 1 day.

And needless to say, I have gained alot of unnecessary weight which i am trying to return.

In indulging in high calorie foods like chocolate and foods rich in cabohydrates like potatoes, beware of gestational diabetes.

Eat everything in moderation.

You want your baby to be healthy too, not just big.

hmmm i dun really believe in eating certain food will increase the baby weight's gain.
bcos, from what i know, baby takes in a certain amt of nutrients from u despite how much u eat or dun eat.
even u dun eat baby also will absorb the nutrients.
so end of the day, if u eat those sweet n fattening food, u will be the one gaining all the extra weight.
if your doctor tells u that your baby weight gain is fine, then jst eat in moderation.
if u want, u can drink more milk.
i drink (almost) one carton of fresh milk everyday since im 4 mths preg.
but my weight gain in 1st n 2nd tri is still few hundred gms per mth.
only the last 2 mths then i gain abt 1kg a week.
