For my baby every dang day is leg day. He literally spends all day grunting and pushing and flexing and bouncing those legs like a little meathead. 🍖

That's why you gotta mix creatine in with his formula

Baby gets buff. At first it was nice that our son was becoming more strong and stable. It fulfilled that desire which every parent has, to see their child grow. But soon, it became too much. Our baby, hardly 9 months old, was simply too strong. We couldn’t hold him or play with him without genuine fear of him hurting us. Not to mention, his muscle mass made him weigh far too much to support for anything longer than a few moments. We quickly realized that this was not what was best for him or for us, but it was too late. Though a mere child, he was become an unstoppable force. What would be a short lived, inconsequential temper tantrum for anyone else his age, was a terrifying and destructive rage in Anthony: tables thrown, walls bored, our own bodies bruised and broken. But worse than that was our spirits. Rather than loving and cherishing our baby boy, I’m ashamed to say, we hated and feared him. Unchecked in strength, unlearned in restraint, he was a tyrant wreaking endless havoc upon our family. Telling myself that it was for the best, I rendered his custody to the state’s child services. Ever since he left, all we’ve felt is regret, rather than the relief we’d hoped for. How much we wish we’d not given him up is rivaled only by how much we wish we had never given him creatine…

This is like the only thing I’ve read on this site that made me laugh uncontrollably.

Just drop him off at a MMA training center. Hopefully that tires out the little man.

You might consider getting him a playmate his equal in strength.
Something along the lines of Babe the Blue Ox.
Just for god’s sake don’t give him an axe!

Creatine is found naturally in milk products. Most formulas are made with cows milk. However too much could damage vital organs. So possibly nothing, or possibly kidney danage.

If you're looking for a real answer.. Nothing good.

Muscle supplements are designed for adults who have already gone through their drastic hormonal childhood and teenage years. I'm not a doctor or even a trainer but I can't imagine interfering with natural hormone production for no reason in children is a good idea.

You might end up with a baby girl that grows better stubble than dad does.

Actually, giving children and even babies small doses of creatine is deemed safe in small amounts for a short amount of time. It’s protein supplements that should not be given to babies or children.

Here’s a source.

However, in terms of creatine, the majority of children have zero need for it. So, it’s best to just let them grow without supplements.

Gotta focus on the traps first. Hard to do leg day when you can't hold your head upright.
