Thank you very much.  It is very interesting from a "setpoint" view
of what size children are genetically programmed to be.  I believe the
twin studies validate this also.

The doggy growth illustration portrays the possible differences.  Just
as all pregnancies are different, all children's intake needs are
different.

My second daughter who at 8#7 was 2# larger than my first, seemed to
nurse way less in time or was a much more efficient milker.  She was
always done with both sides in about 10 minutes and ate at about 4 hour
intervals on demand and slept through the night, except when teething.

I did not restart menstruation until she was 14 months even though I
introduced table solids (fruits and vegetables) at 6 months.  And she
grew
incredibly and has always been 4" taller at any age than her older
sister.

A Chinese medicine person said she makes very efficient use of her
food.
Always has!
