Switching to formula.

My 6month old baby girl had her check up today and she hasn't gained any weight since her last appointment at 4mo. Doctor told me to switch to formula and give her more solids during the day. I'm gonna do it. Any advices on how to switch, I don't wanna use bottles.. any recommendations?

She breastfeeds to sleep .. what should I do now? I'm so sad :( because of the weight.

I have to supplement with formula.We use Similac pro advance.He has gained 3 pounds since birth.I was going to stop as well I was getting very discouraged because I was producing enough from when we first born and then he started drinking 4 oz every 2 hours so now he drinks way more formula than breast milk.But hey at least he is getting some and I still get to keep that bond.

I supplement with formula and always nurse afterward. You can definitely keep nursing at bedtime.

Why can’t you just supplement? That seems like a rash choice to just stop altogether? I don’t produce much these days but love the bond that comes with nursing. So I let her nurse first then top her off with formula. I follow her hunger cues.

My daughter was having the hardest time gaining weight because of my breast milk. So I decided to supplement with formula, and it helped. I was on the Similac sensitive and she gained weight within the first 3 weeks of doing that :) you don’t have to completely switch over, but you can supplement

Baby won't bear weight on leg

Baby won't bear weight on leg I have a walking 10 month old and she has been extra fussy yesterday and today. Today I noticed she didn't really want to crawl, she would just cry until I came and picked her up. After I fed her, I tried setting her down to play with her big sister and she just started crying and wouldn't put any weight on her left leg. She will put weight down on her right leg but then just cries until you pick her back up. I thought maybe she just didn't want to be put down (as baby's often do). I tried a few more times over the next 30 minutes and she still won't put any weight on it. I had a meeting (I work from home), so I took her upstairs to my husband. She is now playing with her siblings and happy, but he text me (from upstairs) and says she still won't put weight on it. She is just sitting there playing.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

I hate doing this to her but I really don't want her to suck her fingers. She sucks the middle and index finger. She refuses any pacifier I give her. She already has one tooth at the bottom and I don't want her to be sucking them when the top ones come in. The doctor said it's a phase and it'll pass but I'm afraid she won't and spoil her teeth. Did any of your kids just stopped by themselves or did you have to do this?
