My daughter is the cute chubby side and I don’t give a hoooooot what anyone says! My daughters almost 5 and getting taller so she’s growing into her chubbiness lol. Tell them she loves milk 
One thing u learn is kids grow out then up and then out and up over and over. Another thing you learn is there is not "normal " or standard or perfect size. Who cares what ppl say ur kids eating. Is she safe ? Do YOU love her that’s all you need to worry about F what other ppl say my daughter was so friggen fat I loved it I got more crap for it but… shes 12 now and shes unbelievably beautiful and thin and there is nothing wrong w that either.

Lol my son was a chunkster laugh and say she’s my chubster and perfect
I’ve weighed under 100 lbs my whole life, always got made fun of for being too skinny, now I’m having health problems and on meds and birth control and I’ve gained 30 pounds. People are now making fun of me like I’m fat. I have been getting so upset about it. But I’m learning that no matter how you look someone will make fun of you for it. I hate that they are doing this to your daughter and I wish I knew how to help (BESIDES SMACKING THEM) but just let her know when she gets big enough to understand that no matter what people will make fun of you and she should live her best life how she wants regardless.

Listen there is no use in getting defensive. Especially if they aren’t saying it in a mean way. People called my daughter a boy until she was almost 2. You will just look crazy. And I’d say fck what others but sometimes we as moms need to chill out.
Chubby, chunky, fat babies are the CUTEST my 4 month old son is as big as a 9 month old doesn’t mean they will be fat when they get older they slim down once they start walking!
Not something to get worked up over everyone loves fat babies!
Chubby babies are healthy babies. Any NICU nurse will tell you “we LOVE chunky babies” because we so rarely see them.

Mine where all chubby including my one year old now. Most think it’s adorable and healthy to be chuncky and chubby as a baby. My 10 year old was built like a damn linebacker at nine months old. Don’t let it bother you if you start thinking it’s because they are overweight you may start projecting your own body image issues and may make the child feel like they are too big.

my daughter was sooo chunky as a baby, once they start walking they start to slim, enjoy that chunkiness you will miss it and don’t let what people say bother you at least she is healthy!!

I think most people use the word chubby endearingly with babies, since it’s pretty common to think a chubby baby is a healthy/cute baby, so I wouldn’t sweat it.
Now, if they start up with saying your four year old is chubby, they’re probably being much less endearing.

I think GENERALLY when people call a baby chunky they mean it as a good thing. Babies are supposed to be chunky after all lol

My 2nd was chubby. Like 32 lbs at 12 months chubby. When people would comment “Oh my gosh she is fat!” I’d say “I know, I love it! She’s perfect!”

I always called my babies chunky or chubby because they were. Everyone else did too, I never felt defensive about it so I’m not sure how helpful I can be… is there a reason you feel defensive about it? Like are you concerned about her weight? If someone walked up and was like omg that kid is fat you need to stop feeding them so much that’s one thing, but most people see chunky/chubby babies as cute and it’s a compliment and in no way an actual jab at their weight…

It sounds like you have issues with chubby/fat not them to be honest (unless they are saying it in disgust) take the compliment and don’t fixate, You’ll cause a problem where there ought not be, And that could impact your child later, Chubby babies are gorgeous, So what is it you really fear ? That baby will always be fat?

My daughter was SUPER chubby as a baby. Her legs looked like the Michelin man. Seriously. Today she is 15 and 118 lbs and 5’8. I wouldn’t worry too much yet.
Chunky babies = healthy and well loved. Def a compliment!
What is it about those words that make you uncomfortable? Any negative connotation is your perception/bias.
Kids’ weights will always fluctuate. It’s common for them to chunk up before a growth spurt. Don’t overthink it.
My babies were all chubby. And my response was always the same… “I know! This baby loves her/his groceries! Chubby babies are the best! Thank you!”
We get the opposite with our little girl
“Wow, she is so small. Do you feed her?” And similar comments
My husband was very angry at this for a long time. To me it’s not worth the energy. Our response now “isnt she so cute? She is petite like a doll”
Tell them the doctors say she’s fine so don’t be worrying about my child keep your unkind words to yourself
My little boy was chunky till he started to walk and then it’s dropped off him. I miss his squidgyness and rolls 
point is it’s normal for babies to be chunky. People will always comment on stuff that doesn’t concern them
I would be an ass and tell them not to be mad because chubby looks good on her and not you🤣
Be glad your baby is healthy and is holding weight. Mine eats like a freight train and has problems keeping weight on. We have tried everything to overly large portions to pedisure (3 a day). Be glad she can fit in nice outfits instead of having to layer them to fit.
Say, “i know, right? Isn’t it wonderful?”
