This is more wholesome granny advice than the granny I just saw from a greentext comm who wanted to nuke Iraq or Japan.

weird, lemmy meta thing goin on here. I also just read that post
Read that post right before this one. Small world.
For a lot of cultures a "fat" baby is a healthy baby
Also give fat to yours babies it helps their brain growing
It doesn't have anything to do with culture, it's fact. Growing takes a ton of resources and it's not like they need to make a Tinder profile.
They do need to look good on the Instagram reels that you make, where you publish every second of your utterly unremarkable infant's life to random strangers on the internet in the hopes that your account grows large enough to make ad money.
In a lot of cultures, a "fat" child is desirable, but actually unhealthy. A fat baby is simply healthy, regardless of the culture!
As a baby, my kid had cheeks that would visibly jiggle when we wheeled her stroller down a bumpy driveway.
We would sing a song about her: Fat fat, baby fat-fat. Fatty baby fatty baby, fatty fat-fat. Fatty fat cheeks! Baby fat cheeks! Baby fat, baby fat, fatty fat fat.
She didn't seem to mind.
For stew, or to have a hardy kid in case times get worse?
Isn’t that the same thing?
Yes.
Nice and plump!
I say that. I wonder if I sound like a grandma to people
