Does formula (similac advance) make babies fat or chubby? do all babies go through that chubby phase? at my son 1month check up he weigh 10pounds

No: It is not the formula but maybe the amount he is being fed. Review his intake with your doctor. Most babies double their birth weight between 2-3 months. All the best.

Babies look chubby: A combination of loose belly muscles and normal feeding behavior make most babies look chubby.Discuss this with his doc.They don't tend to lean out until they're out running around exploring and skipping meals.
