Seriously?
My son was 18 lbs at his 4 month check up. Last week he was 19 lbs 7 oz w/clothes on. He'll be 5 months in two days.

So no. Your baby is not fat.

My almost 11 month old was only 17 pounds at her 9 month check up. I think around 4-5 months she was between 12 and 14.

my daughter is 9 months and weighs 16 lbs 6 oz....and the doc said shes too thin....but shes walking too so shes just really active for her age....

is she getting enough tummy time, exercise time? my hubby used to do exercises with her, like count and pull her up from laying down to get good head support or "bicycle" her legs, so that they get good range of motion...that stuff really helps, so make sure shes not bein lazy :0)
