> On a personal note, my grandson who is 12 months and exclusively BF was
found to be in the bottom 5% of the growth chart at his recent baby check.
The physician advised feeding him whole milk, cheese, fewer crackers........
He is a wonderfully chubby breastfed baby.....yikes.

I believe, after speaking with numerous mothers of  exclusively breastfed
babies worldwide (thanks to the Internet), that this is far more common than
those formula endorsed charts lead us to believe...
