Liebling: mass at 6.5 months: 7.52kg. Mass at 7 months: 7.62kg. Mass about 3 weeks later, just under 8 months: 7.42kg.
Your child is gaining mass. That's fantastic. My child managed to lose about a month's worth of mass in under 3 weeks. And I was not told to stop BFing, nor was I told to BF more. Just add a few more fats and carbs to Lieby's diet.
Looking at the baby book, I do have it noted when he didn't gain mass when younger that I fed him and bam, increase. Looking at his current mass and the charts, he is at the bottom. Oh well, someone has to be. Might start getting some empty calories in the house though...
Don't do it. My daughter was on formula due to failed BF and she didn't put on any more weight than she was when BF. So sorry your family are making you so stressed I know it makes it really hard.
Formula is not the be all and end all of a soloution to no weight gain, perhaps your daughter is just slight? I told our Dr's to button it when they commendted about my DD, as my husband is 6foot something and thin and she was to me just following in her daddys footsteps.
If she is gaining, thats all she needs to do, dosent matter if its .5 of a kg or 5kg, all the charts they use are still from teh 60-70s are are of exclusivley formula fed babies. I wouldnt sweat it if she is otherwise HAH.
