Anecdotal, but here goes: a friend of mine had 3 babies, all breastfed for
years, exclusively for six months. They all doubled their birthweights by 3
months or earlier. I remember at least one was fat and huge at 3 months of
age on three breastfeeds/24 hours, nothing else.
They all grew up like their parents, tall and thin.
