Breastfed babies average weight gain

[elm]

Just found this while I was searching for something else and thought it was an interesting reference point. It's really best viewed on the original website, there's other average measurements there too

Baby's Age...........Average Weight Gain 1.................Average Weight Gain 2,3
0-4 months..........5.5 - 8.5 ounces per week............5 - 7 ounces per week †
4-6 months..........3.25 - 4.5 ounces per week...........4 - 5 ounces per week
6-12 months........1.75 - 2.75 ounces per week..........2 - 4 ounces per week
