My daughter is low weight, since she was born she has been 0 percentile. She was 5lbs 7oz at birth and now at 9 months old she is only 14lbs. We still nurse but have been using formula to fatten the mother milk in her bottles while Im away at work. She is barely drinking anything 2-5oz at a time. Some days she drinks 4oz-11oz while Im away 10hrs. She also eats maybe 6-8 ounces of baby food. Shes been introduced to table food, shes not picky at all. She never seems hungry. To get her to drink is a fight. Pedi has suggested butter diet, formula in foods and keep trying the mothers milk with formula. We are eating avocados, bananas, whole fat yogurt, cheese. Butter on everything! Any suggestions? Any other moms going/have gone through this. I feel so bad, I dont want to force feed but its become a cause for concern. Being seen at 10 months follow up to see if she thrives. Otherwise blood work.
