    Sounds like Jett and Jazz are gonna be very similar -
    (I'm only putting this up so you can see how Jazzy was a massive heffalump but it DID slow down, not to compare babies lol)
    Birth: 3.79kg and 51cm
    1 month: 4.9kg, 55cm
    2 month: 5.8kg, 60cm
    4 months: 7.8kg, 63cm
    5 months: 8.5kg, 70cm
    6 months: 10.1kg, 72cm
    10 months: 11.5kg, 78cm
    12 months: 13.4kg, 80cm
    18 months: 14kg, 86cm

    Totally normal. I never really saw a MCHN regularly, and most of these were incidental GP visits and I asked for her to be weighed and measured because I was concerned. Only once my GP said something dumb (told her to put her on a diet at six months) which I ended up ignoring and he later took back when he saw her growth followed a good curve and ended up slowing down on its own. He did always say that bigger was better if they get sick, because they have some weight to lose before they become underweight (or something like that anyway). Not to say smaller is worse, just making myself feel better about growing a chubbaloomba.
