A member asked:
Could my husband's super fast metabolism be the reason my baby is skinny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A baby's growth assuming that there are no metabolic issues like hypo or hyperthyroidism, failure to thrive, feeding issues, congenital heart defects or other medical issues is usually related to the nutrients available compared to the energy expenditure. I am assuming that your husband has no medical issues himself that may be genetically transmitted to your baby. Babys come in all sizes.
