Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has or had babies with big bellies. My daughter's pediatrician says her stomach muscles haven't formed yet. It's not huge, but even 14 months later, it's bigger than the rest of her. Any one else with similar situation?
Thanks.

I was trying to google this but all i could find was stuff about spastic stomach muscles. did your padi show any concern? Is she sitting an walking yet?

I am sorry that i can't help you with this bue i think that you need to express your concern to the pedi and have them sit down and have a talk with him. if they won't talk to you and give you the information that you need and how you can help your daughter, i think that you need to get a 2nd opinion.

good luck and keep us informed. you can always visit the pregnancy board becuase there are a lot of us that have children and can help you out with your questions too.
