What is the  general time frame that babies start in slow down their growth; 
in other  words, when the .5 to 1 oz of weight gain no longer  applies?


~~
From the Breastfeeding Answer Book, page 148:
 
For the first 3-4 months, average weight gain for a breastfeeding baby is  
six ounces (170 g)/week.
From 4-6 months, weight gain typically slows to 4-5 ounces  (113-142g)/week.
From 6-12 months, weight gain slows to 2-4 ounces(57-113g)/week.
 
Hope that helps,
Peace,
Judy
