*"Breastfed infants gain weight more slowly during the first year of life
than formula-fed infants, probably due to the natural limitations of
available energy supply."
Actually, breastfed babies grow more quickly than infants in conventional
reference charts during the first few months, then their weight gain slows
and therir is a lower attained weight by 12 months.
People always forget that the comparison of the two curves in quite complex.
