Formula fed babies

Are they suppose to be bigger?? My daughter is only 4 weeks old and she's already 10 lbs!! She was only 6 at birth and that was only a month ago... She's gaining more and more every day and she's huge! That is normal for formula right? lol

Not really. Breastfeeding moms will insist that formula makes babies fat but genetics plays a much larger roll than formula vs breast milk. All my kids have been formula babies and their weight stayed on a normal growth pattern. None were ever over weight. I would talk to your pediatrician and see what they say.
