Ebf & slow weight gain

Dd will be 3 months old on Friday & she is gaining weight pretty slowly. In the last 3 weeks she has only gained 10 ounces. She has good color, you can see fat on her (chuncky cheeks, chunky thighs, & a little belly), she has about 8 wet diapers & 2 dirty diapers every day. She is not fussy & nurses well on demand (about every 1 1/2-2 hours during the day). Doctor seems concerned. I'm not overly concerned, but now I'm wondering if I should be. My other 2 kids have a high metabolism & I think she does too, but idk. What do y'all think?

My daughter will be 3 months Wednesday. She gained a lot very fast and now is gaining slowly. My first gained verrrrrry slow the entire first year. And my second was somewhere in the middle. I think sometimes there's too much emphasis put on the numbers. All kids are different. Almost a lb sounds about right for this age. They say double the birth weight by 6 months. Even my slooooooooow gainer did it before 6 months.

Breastfed babies should really used the WHO growth charts bc they gain differently than formula fed but not all Drs do.

I think it's fine. I have a little boy. He is consistently under the 10th percentile. He was in the third percentile at his 4 month appointment. As long as she is gaining and staying within her growth curve and happy and making enough diapers I wouldn't worry.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

I'm so sorry!
My heart hurts for you. I would sue the s*** out of those doctors.
So sad and heartbreaking. Brought tears to my eyes. No mother should lose her child so young
