unicorn, the growth does slow down as the babies grow up. As long as the doctor is not concerned, try to relax. Also, around this time is when babies go through growth spurts. i.e they want to drink often. It is OK to feed them and burp them when they want to.
At the 4 month mark as Rakhii has mentioned babies experience growth spurts. They also experience sleep regressions causing a change in their sleep schedule.
