Regulate baby weight before birth??? I wonder how much risk THAT will pose, especially as balanced with whatever the tiny precentage of increased risk of tumors for bigger babies is (assuming this study is even accurate)?? Also - bigger babies have generally better health - what happens when that gets factored in? Doctors can't accurately predict baby weight anyway - regularly 1 pounds off. This is ridiculous.

I have 2 daughters one weighed 9 lbs. 15 oz. and is now 14 and one that weighed 9 lbs. even and is 13 and both are perfectly healthy. (knock on wood) so I think that this is them grabbing at straws.

My grandson weighed 8 lbs 13 ounces at birth. He is now 7 months old and weighs around 20 lbs. He's a big boy because his father is big. What kind of research is being done for babies that are already here?
