leaving my WIC appointment, and even they are giving me grief about my babies weight😖 Geez man can't she just be petite? She eats lots of food..she eats 8-12 oz of baby food with cereal sometimes and she nurses about 5 times a day. If she gets a bottle I'll put 2 tbl spoons of formula per every 3ozs she drinks. (didn't mention the formula though😅😅) But now I gotta bring her back for a follow up next month. She's just a slow gainer. She has gained some weight since her 6 month appointment so I know she's gaining.
I know its their job, but my baby is tiny, why can't they just get it through their heads.😣

My doctor tells me my daughter is underweight for her height. But she tells me as long as she's growing and healthy she's okay.

@mrm83015 I mean I get it, for a 7 month old she's tiny. but I am feeding her! it's not like I'm not. she's growing in height, hitting her milestones. ugh my doc had us see a GI for her weight. got a follow up with him in 2 weeks, but I'm sure everything will be normal.

@chunkymonkey9115 omg they better not accuse me of that!😡 Lord knows I feed my child, and I want her to be healthy and strong. she's just a slow gainer I think. she's happy and acts like a normal baby! and now that she's more active her weight gain may be even slower. 😥 I hate the way they make me feel at these appointments, like I'm doing something wrong 😕

don't feel bad I guess I had to go to a specialist and she told my parents that I am perfectly healthy every baby is different and she will gain the weight but she will do it when she wants to lol

maybe keep a feeding log to show them? I suggest at least 8 nursing sessions....food before 1 is just for fun :)

@suddymaya well she sleeps through the night, so that's why her feedings have lowered. today for some reason she felt like nursing a bit more lol. she normally eats every 2-3 hrs
