Roughly the same, still end up at triple at one year. I think a well
nourished, nursing ad lib BF baby tends to be double by 4 mo, as does a
stuffed bot fed baby. The next difference is the BF baby is still about
triple at one year and the bot/early food fed baby is over triple at one
year. I see many more bot fed overweight babies who go on to be overweight
toddlers and so on. An overweight BF baby at one tends to slim down by age
3-4. That's just my personal observations (and bias :-)
All that said - I looked at a growth chart ! They expect much more! (and
more for boys than girls, of course) Double at 6 mo and quadruple + at one
year. Maybe I remember my old rule of thumb incorrectly :-( Pat in SNJ
