[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He is almost 14lbs but the pediatrician said most boys that age are 15-16lbs. He does eat very often during the day and sleeps well at night. I’m still nervous he will fall off his growth curve or that my milk isn’t fatty enough for him. I think I’m going to start giving him 1 bottle of formula a day for some extra calories. [/quote] OP, you really should think about why it’s important to you that your boy is at the median. Statistically half of boys are going to be below, and there’s no reason why that’s bad. If he’s meant to be a 30-40th percentile kid, he will be unless you keep feeding him more calories than he needs. This is raising red flags whether you’re talking about Bm, formula, or solids. Please think about it and consider talking to your doctor if it seems like it could be related to POD/PPA. And talk to your pediatrician about whether he needs extra calories.[/quote]
