[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switch to formula. Your child didn't even meet the goal of their birth weight on time, and another only gained 5oz in 11 days? That's really bad. Why are you so reluctant to add more bottles of formula or a higher caloric formula if your baby is already FF?[/quote]

She already added formula at 2 weeks when inadequate weight gain was discovered  and the baby’s weight shot up (improving from 22nd to 40th percentile) and the baby is no longer sleepy but happy and active.  The pediatrician should have explained his reasoning better since it is not at all clear why this would be advised when the previous changes are clearly working. It’s important to have a pediatrician one trusts so even for this reason alone would seek out a different one. I would not blindly trust a pediatrician who advises something that does not make sense. That is the issue, not that adding an extra bottle or switching formula is that difficult. If the pediatrician can’t adequately communicate why something is important that is a problem regardless of quality or lack there of of his advice. [/quote]
