Yeah I agree. It’s ok op. Just take care of your baby. Fwiw, this happened to my sister and she turned out to be allergic to milk. [/quote]

I’ve been pumping and giving bottles of breast milk so it can be measured but also offering formula. It’s basically an all you can eat buffet. I spent an hour feeding her and it was an ounce. She takes breast milk better than formula but it’s still slow. The type of milk isn’t the issue as far as I can tell. It’s quantity and she’s being offered plenty of both. [/quote]

Pediatrician can check stool to see if there are any allergies and then recommend a formula.  Stool consistency? If a ped recommended 3 formulas- tiny baby might eat 2 ounce of one for example and .5 of another.  There's also variations in baby preferring certain nipples over others.  All you can do is try various combinations.  Most important thing is to get the baby out of failure to thrive. [/quote]
