I agree that the baby will probably slow down and even (good heavens!) drop
down on his curve by the 8-12 mo mark. BF babies frequently have a rapid
pattern of growth in the first 6 mo and then level off. At least that's
what I kept telling my daughter when her son gained like crazy :-)
He weighed 42 pounds by the time he was 2 y.o. then just kept getting taller
and stayed at 42 lbs for 2 years! Talk about a funny curve. He was happy
and healthy and developmentally on target with the sweetest fat cheeks. He
is now 20 and is a tall, skinny, string bean ! Of course that's my sample
of one - actually my three sons also followed the same sort of pattern,
rapid gain in the beginning that leveled off normal size through childhood
and teens. As adults, 2 are tall and slender and one isn't quite so tall
and is overweight - but sadly that's another whole story :-( Sincerely, Pat
in SNJ
