Regarding the comment that "No one is concerned about kids who's growth curve is at or above 110%" I was reminded of a coworker of mine who's first baby was gassy and colicky for 6 months until she switched him to formula. Then we had gone to a seminar and learned about overactive MER and she realized this was what she probably had with him. When she had her 2nd baby he would nurse for 5 minutes one side and eat every 2-3 hours and he was the fattest baby I have ever seen. Her doctor shook his head at her and told her he didn't know what to do, if he was a bottle feeder he would probably tell the mom to decrease his formula intake, but since he was breastfeeding and only for 5 minutes a feed what could he do. So they just watched and waited I think he is about 7 now and thin as a rail. BTW she had problems with him when she had to introduce a bottle when she returned to work, he would only take a nipple that was fast flowing and she even had to poke extra holes in that or he would get frustrated at the "slow" flow. I guess it's all what you get used to.
