I would bet this baby will be 30 lb or so at a year and 33 pounds at 2
years!!

Check out the DARLING study curves--breastfed babies follow a different
curve, usually heavier in the first six months then following a flatter
curve so they end up thinner by their second year (and, presumably,
thereafter).  I agree with others--reassure this mom that if baby is
otherwise healthy and developing normally, it's not a problem.
