What sort of growth chart is the pediatrician using? Most growth charts are based on overweight even obese bottlefed infants. Once this child fell to the 5 th percentile has the child maintain steady growth? Looking at percentiles for height instead of weight are more important than at the weight and a more sensitive indicator in breastfed infants (especially exclusively breastfed infants) of adequate growth. A gain of 1/2 ounce per day is fine.
