Sorry ladies, but I think they are not “chubby” they are obese and will grow into obese children and obese adults. There is nothing attractive or funny about child looking like a shar-pei. OK for dolls but the real babies are being primed for diabetes and other obesity related problems, that is just too sad. 
I love chubby babies too. We do not have any chubby babies in my family, but I do have a Libby that I painted. Here is a WIP picture. I did finish her, but I do not have any pictures uploaded. She was close to the first I ever painted.

I think Luna will slim down once she starts to crawl. My brother is a Health nut. Trust me… There is nothing fun to eat in his house. She is still only breast feeding.
I was a skinny chicken when I was born so my mom stuffed me til I was a sack of potatoes…seriously I have a pic where I look exactly like crystal!! I went through a chubby kid phase but now I’m normal. 
Celeste is so snugly!
I don’t know - my daughter was fat like that as a baby and now as an adult and even having her own son weighs in at 97 lbs and eats everything she can get her hands on!
My oldest was my chubbiest around 6 months. I breast fed her the longest. She is now a 73 lb, 12 yr old… lol. She is very skinny. My 9 yr old weighs more than her.
Also my super chubby niece that I posted a pic of then deleted is 3 now and thinning out… I think the weight is an issue when they are older like 5 and have rolls… not as non-moving (much) babies. 
What on earth are they feeding her???
Yes, babies before they start moving need to have bit of fat, but these babies, are obese, and to get them like that means that they are most likely fed wrong food. Experts seem to agree that eating habits are formed in the first few years of their lives. I once knew a baby whose parents thought she was just so lovely chubby. At 18 months her legs were so fat she could not bend them; she did not crawl! When she was 6 months I saw her eating whole bar of chocolate.
I was talking about these babies; they are not healthy:

Hmmm…well I think we all have our own opinions and no offense, but sometimes those opinions are better left unspoken. This post was about “LOVING” chubby babies, not a debate on health conscientiousness. If this post were just about reborn doll kits then that’s one thing, but some of these photos are of forum members babies and grand babies so please be mindful when you start getting all preachy on what YOU feel is the right or wrong way for someone else to feed their baby and what future you believe they’re setting their baby up for. It’s not for us to criticize.
I agree with you that a six month baby should under no circumstances be eating an entire chocolate bar, but I can assure you this is not the norm. I know several exclusively breast-fed babies, that are extremely roly-poly. They aren’t going on junk food binges, and have healthy weight, happy siblings. I know having had that experience, it must have been shocking for you, but many chubster babies will grow up to be just as healthy, if not healthier than their slim counterparts.
Wow and she was so tiny when she was born:heart_eyes:
I know! And she is only on breast milk!!!
That is not my opinion, that is an opinion of the medical professionals. In some places allowing children to get grossly overweight is considered a child abuse.
@nikkiroc all my babies were over 8lbs at birth. One weighed almost 10 lbs. I breastfed each off them the first 9 months exclusively. Needless to say they were all chubby. Their hands looked like they were screwed into their arms…no wrist or necks 
With my 3rd I had too much milk so at the request of my doctor I pumped and donated my milk to the NICU in the hospital where she was born. It was a wonderful feeling. My girls are 42, 41 and 35. None of them have weight problems or food allergies. I could tell by just looking at Luna that she’s a breast baby.
I don’t see a picture of a cat???
Thank you for saying this:grinning: my brother and his wife( a professional yoga teacher) are super fitness freaks. Ultra healthy people. They definitely are not force feeding her or giving anything but breast milk. She is definitely not a child abuse victim! Just a heathy chubby little girl! Just like me… I had a baby fat phase and now I’m 5’ 8 and 115 pounds and … In perfect health. 
My friends that breastfeed all have chunky babies…very chunky, but the older siblings have thinned out nicely.
My niece was as round as she was high at 4 months on nothing but breast milk. As an adult, she’s skinny as a stick and very healthy.
Some cultures consider very chubby babies a sign of affluence.
