Skinny babies

One of my MILs friend visited our house last week to see our baby, I was quite offended when she made a comment that my baby was so "skinny", as a mom it kinda made me think if I'm feeding her well enough. Bub was healthy but a small baby when she was born and every TCU I always check with the doctor if her BMI is normal. She's gaining normally though. Anyone facing the same situation here?

My baby was born slightly above the 50th centile, but dropped to and then remained in the 10-25th centile from the 1st month all the way to her 6th month now. But she’s proportionate. She’s very healthy and definitely feeds enough. Trust your own instincts and the doctor’s assessment. Ignore the other voices that aren’t constructive. Everyone always has something to say, but it doesn’t mean they’re right:) By the way, your baby is ADORABLE!

My lo is also on the skinny type. Always been say that the baby doesn’t like my milk, not feeding him well. Feel so offended and sad. But he is born on the smaller side and is slowing catching up with the graph. As Long as he is healthy. I slowly learn not to put it in heart of what they say
