No it’s not.
We did, no problem. Age 3-4 months is the norm. Except for the new age "Food Deniers"
4. Moths with good head control, not three but there are formulas with rice starch.

OP here, thank you all so much — this is really helpful and I appreciate your support. It’s hard and scary when they don’t gain weight but refuse food. We had a few good days with changing the nipple flow slower , she will take large bottles now happily , but only 1-2 times a day and the rest of the feeds are small and with same issues. I’m calling ped (requesting a different doc this time) and will raise some of these issues and ask for reflux meds / support. If they can’t help I’ll ask for a GI. They have a good lactation consultant there.
Did any of you have to go to a feeding clinic? Do they help or is that for other problems ?

Sounds like my baby. Did breastfeeding, changed diet, tried many formulas including Puramino. Ended up with reflux meds and enfamil AR. It helps milk not come up much. She was barely eating before and now she eats better and began gaining weight. With this we also give her probiotics and use gas meds when we need to. We always feed her upright and keep her upright for at least 20 minutes.

This sounds like classic reflux. Rule out a tongue tie also (swallowed air can worsen reflux symptoms)

Daily allergy or silent reflux or both.

When your milk separates in the fridge does it have the right ratio to the layers?
My son had some reflux - I could see it at the back of his throat sometimes. I put a pillow or rolled up blanket under his mattress to keep him at a slight incline.

Try reflux meds - you’ll know immediately if that’s the issue - if they don’t help you just stop.
BTDT 3 times. It’s no fun but the meds will help.

I mean OP should talk to the ped but at three months clearly some people have gotten the advice to start introducing solid if other feeding is going poorly. My sister did too.

Rice is a diet staple in most of the world, and they are all okay. Gerber sells oatmeal cereal too, so then have at it.

Ask your pediatrician. I believe our pediatrician told us that oatmeal was okay at three months when baby was losing weight.

It sounds like reflux. See if you can get a prescription for Zantac.
