(it's amazing how I can always find something to worry about)
Breastfed babies can't gain too much weight, right? Even if it's more than what sources say are "average"?
Kellymom cites two different sources for what the average BF baby gains in 0-4 months, one says 5-7oz/week is average, the other says 5.5-8.5 oz/week.
I just did the math and my daughter has gained an average of 11 oz/week... whoa. That's still OK, right?
Re: there's no such thing as too much weight gain, right?
Off B.C. Jan '06, started charting Feb '08, 2% morphology and PCOS, no O with meds,
IVF w/ICSI only option to conceive.
Licensed Foster Parents 07.11
Miracle BFP 7.20.11 1st beta 6,274! EDD 3.17.12
Miracle Baby born March 5, 2012 . 6lbs 1oz, 19 3/4"
Miracle BFP #2 10.8.12 - edd 6.20.13
But she was EBFed, so there's no way it could have been unhealthy.
I think chubby BFed babies are healthy, but if the weight gain was from like, french fried and hot dogs, I'd be kinda concerned.
...haha.
