The world record. I think my second son might be able to beat that Pat!
Birth weight 4880g; at 3 days 4670g, at 7 days 4980g; at 4 weeks 5940g
(although with a different scale). So 77g or 3.1ounces per day in the second
part of the first week; followed by approx 320g for the next three. He
didn't keep this up for long thank goodness! At age 3.5 years he's just
sitting under the 50% line for height and weight.
On a serioues note, does it matter - is there a range where there should be
concerns? There is information enough about slow growth / failure to thrive
but what about the other extreme?
