So is it only me that wonders about the info that the babies (all of
them) 'lost lots of weight at 3 mths'...wondering two main things:

* did they really lose lots of weight (or just a little, or just
plateau'd, or just slowed down...)?
* were they ill (most babies who lose lots of weight are)?

Each boy lost about a half a pound to a pound within a couple of weeks and were extremely irritable.  Knowing this mom, who is also a pediatrician, I don't think she suddenly stopped feeding them often enough or running around a lot or otherwise doing too much.  Also, she did not go back to work after her second.  The first child has developmental issues (PDD, I believe), but no health problems.  The second child has no issues at all.   And, like I said, she worked with LLL to rectify the situation and was highly motivated to improve things, so I imagine they covered all of these issues with her.
