'My one-year-old wears age four clothes - trolls say I must feed her fast food'

A mother has said that online trolls make cruel jibes and say she must be feeding her 14-month-old baby girl McDonalds due to size.

Mum Anna, 27 says she dresses her tot in clothes for kids aged four and five because she has a larger frame - but insists it is due to a health appetite, and she will grow out of it. Baby Skylar already weighs 2st 11lbs - a stone and a half more than most babies her age, but Anna says she is "doing everything right".

However many are quick to question Anna and assume that she must be overfeeding her baby on unhealthy foods, MirrorOnline reports.

Single mum Anna, originally from Poland, said: "People say all sorts of things to me, online especially. They say I must be feeding Skylar chocolate and McDonalds but she's just a growing girl.

"I was also a chunky baby so I think it must be a genetic thing. My mum said that when I started walking the weight just dropped off me."

Anna said Skylar mainly breastfeeds and rarely eats normal food.

"When she was younger, she would literally sleep on the boob, feeding the whole time," she said. "She loves cheese and ham but apart from that it's hard to get her onto solids.''

Anna - who has always prided herself on dressing well - was excited to find out she was having a daughter with her then-partner in March 2019. After welcoming baby Skylar in December 2020, she was excited to start taking photos of her daughter who she describes as "a mini model".

Recalling how Skylar was "small and skinny" at birth, Anna said the tot began to gain weight quickly.

"I just couldn't get her off my boob," she said. "I then found weaning her super hard, she wasn't interested. Thankfully, she now she sees me eating things and wants to get involved.''

At first Anna struggled to find stylish clothes for her little one, but now shops in Zara and H&M for their children's ranges. She posts on Skylar's Instagram - where she has 20k followers - daily despite cruel taunts from online trolls.

''I am a very healthy, slim person," she said. ''I love the gym and I eat really good nutritional food. As if I would feed a baby sugar and burgers... it's madness. The comments used to bother me but now I'm immune to it all.

''I'm doing everything right and my baby needs fuel to grow, simple as that. I just don't read the comments anymore. I refuse to stop posting cute pics of her, I think she's beautiful.''
