Is my baby drinking too much and gain too much weight?
I am a bf mom and my baby boy is now 1 and a half month. He drinks around 4 oz each time ( I bump for him) and around 7-8 meal per day. He was 7 lbs when he was born and he is now 12 lbs already. Is he drinking too much? I read from other article that normally bf baby will gain around 1 lbs twice a week. Any problem for his case?
By the way, thanks for the bf mom encourgement, by keep on bumping, I can bump more and more milk (around 6 oz each time) for the naughty boy now!

WWHO,
vow ! you did a good job! you should
be proud of yourself! keep it on!
for weight, don't worry! he is very
normal. actually it is only index
for you to follow the weight from
the book, not for every baby.
you know, my baby does not gain
very much when he was 0-3 months,
which at that time i was so nervous
and asked everyone about the weight
question.
however, he is now heavier, and gained
well. also, some babies will absorb better
than others, so their weights will be
much heavier and reach 97% , and also
depends on the weight reference of
their parents.
