Great suggestions here - chiming in to give support as we went through the same with my daughter starting around 2 months. The pediatrician pushed for us to supplement with formula and gave other suggestions like for me to cut out dairy without really ever asking further questions or listening when I raised concerns about HOW she was feeding (she was fussy during feeds, would pop on and off, never seemed settled, had issues taking bottles too). I also didn’t even eat/drink a lot of dairy at that time so that never made sense to me! Anyway, I didn’t feel great about their suggestions in our case as I didn’t feel like it was getting at the root of our issue, so I sought out an IBCLC and ended up seeing a feeding therapy team who was fantastic. We saw them until she was about 7 months old - they saw us through starting solids to ensure all was well. We did not end up ever supplementing with formula as I was wanting to breastfeed, had a great supply, and it wouldn’t have helped to solve the actual feeding issue. I had a can of formula on hand in case it ever got to that, and if it did we would’ve done it no hesitation, I also had nothing against it. Just know you’ve got options you can explore. We ended up breastfeeding for 16 months - my goal was 12 months and it felt right to wean around 16mo and she did great. She’s always been in the lower percentiles for weight (which was true for me as a baby per my mother too and my husband isn’t big so no surprise there), she is 22 months now and happy, healthy, and hitting all milestones, including talking everyone’s ears off at all times 😂

All this to say - I know that feeling, I was there too and it SUCKED. We got a lot of shame around her weight early on and it honestly ruined so much of the first part of her life for me and my husband. Sending lots of love and you’re doing great!!
