Hi Anon,offlate,i am finding it a little true. Babies who are formula fed tends to become obese ( ps: this is paed's opinion), and i found it to be true with my cousins girl. For the first year she was super chubby,then when she started solids,her weight balanced. Breastfed babies grow at a little slower rate but they get all the nutrition and antibodies and build their immune system stronger. So dont worry about the weight,look at overall wellbeing. Afterall we want a healthy child not just chubbier.
