anyone else have a very large breastfed kid?

Andrea,

When I went to see your pictures, they asked me for a password. :-)

Is this because the charts use both formula fed and breastfed kids? Did
anybody have a particularly aggressive grower like me?

My second DD was 16 pounds, 10 ounces at two months. Easily 20 pounds at 5
months. She started out at 10 pounds, 6 ounces. I don't know that that's
particularly aggressive growth, but it sounds like plenty to me.

Not once in her first year did the ped give me specific percentiles... I
just always assumed high-90s . She was (and is) healthy and happy. One of
my favorite peds, himself a huge bear of a fellow, said that people are
going to expect her to walk and talk and eat, just because of her size, but
not to worry. So I didn't.

I'm 5-10, DH is 6-5. My first daughter was 17 pounds 9 ounces at 4 months,
she plateaued for a long time from about 14 to 24 months, and now at almost
5 she's practically petite. Go figure.
