This is a bit of a mystery to me as well because I breast feed my baby constantly but she's tiny. I ended up formula feeding my son after 5 months and he was never big, either, so clearly genetics has some impact. However....
Umm, OK I can't think how to write this without sounding a bit rude, and I don't know you, OP, so this is in no way pointed at you.
I'm just wondering if there is a different amount of fat content or sugar in milk from different women depending on their diet.
I've seen some enormous breast fed babies with larger mothers. I'm very thin and I have a very healthy diet. Is this why my baby is so little?
