Also, I recently ran across in other contexts the fact that 'standard weight-gain' charts were compiled in the 50s from formula-fed white middle-class babies. Making them 'normal.' Apparently it is well known that breastfed babies gain weight a little slower but are at the same place at one year of age.

Though probably the lactation consultants already knew that.
