Your baby has his or her own growth pattern chart and a healthy growth pattern for ANY baby continues in a steady upward curve.
Charts are useful as a gross guideline. Other factors may effect your baby's growth like genetic and ethnic differences.
Standard baby height and weight charts are NOT based on the "average" breastfed baby. Most percentile graphs and growth charts are not specific for breastfed babies unless otherwise stated so if you are breastfeeding makesure to use charts based on breastfed babies and not formula-fed.

It depends on the size of the baby when he/she was born. Mine were about 7 and 8 pounds at birth. One was about 12 and the other was about the same give or take an ounce. They were very healthy eaters. I have heard of a 14 pound baby at birth.

well the baby should go to see a pedetrician every month and they will weight the baby, measure him and tell you what's going on with the baby.
