[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was born at 8.5 lbs - pretty big for a newborn. Nevertheless, everyone from family to neighbors to friends made comments about how "tiny" she was in the first few weeks. How "small", "tiny", "teeny tiny", etc. I think these are words that people assign to newborns (and yes, OP, 8 weeks is still very close to newborn) and really young babies, period. Get over it and move on. [/quote] You're determined not to get it, huh? It's not what the people mean that causes the harm, it's that dozens of people have now told you it touches a nerve and you're determined to tell these parents to move on. It's like if a child is getting slightly obese and you comment "oh she's growing up to be such a big girl!" You might have meant nothing, but those words are still going to be a reminder to mom of something she's stressing about. Just stop saying it, kay? [/quote]
