[quote=jindc]It would bother me if someone called my baby a "beanpole" or "stick figure"  It just so happened that the posts I had been seeing were all about a couple of "chubby babies".  In general, I only noticed this because of some FB posts, and the fact that the only thing I know about my SIL's child is that he's "huge".  The only identifier I have is that, which to me is a little odd.  It also just so happens that an overwhelming majority of people I know with babies have girls.  
I think girls are more pressured by society in terms of body image, which is why I had to do some thinking on the issue.

However, we are having a boy. There just aren't as many societal pressures out there.  My husband was incredibly skinny growing up, so I do know there are issues with that as well.  As a failure to thrive baby, he was always told how skinny he was and that his mom must not be feeding him enough.  So I know it exists on both sides, since every story about his childhood from his mom involves that! [/quote]
