I'm a nurse in a neonatal ICU and am used to feeding cute little 3-4 lb babies all the time. Even 7-8 lb babies seem huge to me when I hold them. One time I got a 12 pounder who was there for blood sugar issues and I swear it was like feeding a toddler in my lap. Sorry - not cute at all! Poor thing was such a spectacle amongst his fellow patients. What's frustrating is, these babies are usually the worst feeders and can't suck a bottle for anything! So you sit there struggling with this mini monster in your lap for 30 minutes. I love my itty bitty munchkins.
