    Hi, good on you for keeping up the breastfeeding, i know it can be hard at first but it's great when they are so healthy because of it. my little chicken was 8.12kg at 4mths and fully breastfeed also, but as time has gone on she has started to slow down the weight gain, but she is still quite large - 10.7kg at 10mths. Definately must be something in our booby juice alright as Emily was born 3.175kg.

    My little girl is 3 months old and she weighs 7 kilograms! She was born 4035 kilograms so she too is a chubby bubby. She is breastfed and my health nurse said that breastfed babies normally put on weight quickly and then it evens out.

    Good on you for keeping up with the breastfeeding. It was hard at first for me also but I am so glad it has worked out in the end!

    You can read up on the weight/length stats of many different bubs at different ages in this thread HERE.

    That is fantastic that all of your little ones are thriving!

    Just bear in mind though that every baby is different, and due to genetics some may put on more or less weight than others. Which doesn't mean they are any less healthy or thriving - just individuals, like us all
