Big hugs to you. I don't really have any advice, so hopefully the paed helps with this.

I am very pro bf but if I was told I need to supplement with formula, like in your case, I wouldn't hesitate if it was best for baby. I hope you are supported in your path.

As a relatively new mum, please don't think you are alone in being completely confused and not confident. I have really struggled with second guessing everything. Pre baby, I could walk into a Board room and back my multimillion dollar decision. Post baby, I couldn't even work out how to burb her or whether she was cold. It is horrible not knowing and luckily I haven't had any massive issues.

Piglet (my first now 16 month old girl) was 97th percentile in height but 50th in weight. She dropped down one line in weight early on but slowly made it back up after we started solids. Her other measurements stayed consistent so our gp wasn't too worried, just kept an eye on it. Tigger (my now 11 week old boy) is also in the same percentile brackets and he isn't putting on enough weight for his bracket. I'm hoping it is the same as Tigger but the gp is keeping an eye on us again just in case.

Sending big hugs to you and hope you feel like you have support. I can tell from your original post, you are a good mum and only want to do what is best for your baby. Good luck
