What is the general time frame that babies start in slow down their growth;
in other words, when the .5 to 1 oz of weight gain no longer applies?
~~
From the Breastfeeding Answer Book, page 148:
For the first 3-4 months, average weight gain for a breastfeeding baby is
six ounces (170 g)/week.
From 4-6 months, weight gain typically slows to 4-5 ounces (113-142g)/week.
From 6-12 months, weight gain slows to 2-4 ounces(57-113g)/week.
Hope that helps,
Peace,
Judy
