My lo is 5.8kg Born on 9 april 16 4.5mth old PD and nurse said her weight gain is not enough. How to make sure her weight is increasing at good rate? Height is normal but weight is increasing at a slower rate. LO is bottle feed so i know how much is her intake. 6oz to 7oz per feed 2hrly feeding STTN. Is it due to my bm or LO nv absorb?

My firstborn is at 15 percentile and my second born is at 25 percentile. They are both petite size and I use to worry that is it my milk got not enough nurtients too until I meet a pro-Bf doctor. Firstly, the growth chart that most PDs use in SG is based on FM feed baby which has a different grow trend as BF baby. So they are not comparing Apple to Apple but Apple to orange. Secondly, they often does not take in consideration of parents' genes when telling you baby is too "light" even though there is a good weight gain every month. Lastly, even adult grow at different phase what make them think baby should all grow in the same percentile to be considered "healthy"? I will only concern if: 1. Baby is not putting on weight or there is a sudden drop of weight/percentile. Example: from 75 percentile to 50 percentile or more. 2. Not enough dirty or wet diaper. 3. Baby is alway hungry and does not feel satisfied after a feed or sleep for an hour or more after feed. However, do make take note there is certain months baby will drink more often due to growth spurt. 4. Baby is not alert or active. My firstborn is 4 years old now, still on my breastmilk and small size although she eat a lot but she is definitely healthy and smart. Size does not matter but health does, in my own opinion.
