hello, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge/experience of rapidly growing babies?
my ds(20 wks) was 6lb 7 when he was born two weeks early, sitting on the 9th centile. you could tell he wasn't quite full term and was meant to be a bit bigger as he had folds of loose skin everywhere. he lost a good 12% of his weight as we struggled to bf in the first few days, but once he got the hang of it, well....
he is just over 20 weeks and i weighed him today and he is around 21lbs, which puts him in between the 98th and 99.6th centile, it's quite a jump.
i have had him weighed previously and he had been moving up the graph, he was in between the 25th and 50th at 8wks. if he keeps going at this rate he will shortly be off the scale.
i don't remember looking at centiles with dd, i have clearly developed precious second born syndrome! but then she was a normal size

can you definitely not overfeed a bf baby?
