Pearl, What growth charts is the physician using to plot this baby's growth? The answer to this question is important when looking at breastfed babies. The other queries I have are, what is the ethnic origin of this baby and where do the parents fall with regard to their own physique. These should be considered along with the steady growth pattern of the baby.
