Hello Ladies,

I had a Pediatrician ask if there are any studies that show that
bigger babies put on weight more slowly than smaller babies. I found
the following website that states "After birth larger babies tend to
grow more slowly (on average) and smaller ones faster."
https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bf-info/common-concerns%E2%80%93baby/baby-weight-gains

Can anyone lead me to more information such as a study? It would
definitely need to be from a reputable source.

I've requested the information from the website. I know there are so
many information junkies on this list that I suspect others will have
other sources as well.

Thanks,
