[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in 2 years if the ped told you your kid wasn't gaining enough weight and you should up the calories of his meals, presumably you would start adding healthy fats without thinking twice. The only reason this is a hot topic is because the breastfeeding crazies take it as a personal slight. Just feed your baby the amount your baby needs to grow, per your baby's doctor, and don't think about it.[/quote]

+1000, but OP and her husband are going to a new ped who will tell them what they want to hear.[/quote]

Op and her husband are already supplementing with formula so this has nothing to do with „breastfeeding crazies“ rather being given advice that doesn’t make sense.  Hopefully their new pediatrician can communicate better and also take their concerns into account.

My kids doctor did that. She had slow weight gain and after taking account my life circumstances (single mom with no support) we came up with plan where almost all formula suppmentation was done during the day and I EBF at night (exception being if my dc showed signs of  being still hungry after breastfeeding then of course I offered her more but this was very rare.) She gained weight like a champ on this plan, my sleep was less disrupted and all was good.  Some doctors are better at explaining their rationales and taking family concerns into account and I hope OPs new year pediatrician is one of those.
