Nope! At first I thought so too but my cousin has been exclusively breastfeeding her babies till they're 2 years old and they're much chubbier than mine who's on mixed formula and bm.

not true at all, it depends on baby. My friend’s baby was fully bf, 9kg at 3.5months old, SIL’s baby formula fed all the way 5kg at 4months, mine fully bf, 7kg at 4.5m

I don’t think it’s true! My bb is fully breastfed and weighs 7.5kg during his 4m development check up. He is in the 75-90 percentile!

Not true! I've seen mums with super chubby baby who is on ebm. My nephew was on fm and he's also very chubby

It is nothing like that. It depends on baby to baby. Do choose an fm that is closest to mother's milk.

Not true! My son is mixed feed, not chubby! My nephew fully bf, chubbier than my son! Hahah

I think it's TRUE,most ppl I know who use FM are chubby

Mine is 2mos old formula fed.. not chubby

Same applies for formula fed babies.
