Nancy: << He weighed 4 lb. 12 oz. at birth (full term) and is now at 8 lb. 8 oz. >> He has just about doubled his birth weight. the darling study showed that bf infants usually gain slower after 3 months.... how about adding breast massage during the pause of his suckling.... are there other contributing factors... was he sick for a spell? with 6 sibs it may be very difficult for him to pay attention to eating... he may need some quiet for eating. does he eat better at certian feeds?
