Saturday Photohunt - Skinny


When Daughter was first being weaned she was very difficult to feed: the only thing she really liked was sweet potato. As a result her weight didn't increase the way it should have done and hence these skinny little legs - not helped by the enormous booties!


Incidentally according to http://www.kidsandcooking.co.uk/ we were ahead of our time!

"Traditionally babies have been started on cereal but nowadays pureed vegetables are widely suggested as being more digestible for babies’ tummies. And one of the best to begin with, and often recommended by nutrition experts, is sweet potato. These pink-skinned knobbly vegetables are easily available in greengrocers and supermarkets and have a subtle sweetness that babies love."

Our daughter LOVED pureed prunes ... not a good thing when we stopped feeding it to her though. Of course, I tolerated the end result while she was eating it. Gha, nasty!

OH what an adorable baby girl. My first was super skinny (she was a preemie) and still is. She had little twigs for legs as well. Great choice.

eastcoastlife said...

Oh... those legs are so skinny! I'm sure she has great legs now.

Those booties look cute on her :)
Both my kiddos loved pureed sweet potatoes too, but were told not to give too much of those in fear turning juandice or something..

Oh my the booties do make her legs look real skinny! Such a cutie though!

Lynn said...

I guess that's usual for some babies. But as they grow, they get big and chubby. Hope she eats well now.

YTSL said...

Your daughter was a skinny baby. Trust that she's bulked up quite a bit since! :)

Skinny kids, I hear, are the most healthy ones. Thanks for visiting, and she is a beauty anyhow!

My goodness those are some skinny little legs and I thought I was a tiny baby (the ladies at the hospital called me skinny-minnie).

alisonwonderland said...

she's a cutie! my son didn't gain weight like he was supposed to either, and he's still small - healthy but small.

Unknown said...

I, too, was a “skinny baby.” Unfortunately, my grandmother convinced folks to force feed me, which may partly account for my future obesity. People had weird ideas back in the ‘40s.

Skinny little legs or not...she is so cute Liz. Look at that little face. All my kids were pretty good eaters....didn't have too many skinny legs in the bunch. I think my son was the skinniest out of the gang...not any more.
