Last Thursday (5/22), Matalley had her 4 month appointment. She is still in the 50%tile for height (24 1/2 inches), head circum.(40.7 cm), and in the 25% for weight (11 lb. 8ou.). Grayson did the same thing and we had the same conversation with the pediatrician. She is encouraging me to use a 1-2ou. bottle of formula after her one bottle feeding during the day to see if she'll take a little more. I'm not quite sure what to do. I don't want to force her to eat when she really seems content. We didn't do anything different with Grayson and now he's in the 90%tile for weight. I've just got this nagging feeling that won't let me relax. Uggghh!
Also, had a tough lesson this morning for Grayson and me. We went to the library for story time and Grayson was in one of his cranky moods. He completely lost it (seems to happen at the library) and so we left which made me completely loose it. I was utterly embarrassed by his behavior but my behavior was worse...I am supposed to be the parent and today I acted like a child. We're both in time out right now. Uggghhh!

Is your pediatrician using the chart for a breastfeed baby or formula fed baby? I would just add a DHA supplement or walnuts to your diet. If she is healthy and full she should be fine. Jacob was 90% until he was 6 months old. He has dropped down to 50% now in weight...but I think it's b/c he is very active. I feed him all the time, he eats everything. My doctor told me the same thing...to supplement with formula when he was 3 months. I didn't do it...I struggled over it.
But if you decide to supplement, I would recoomend Earth's Best Baby Formula at Babies R Us. It is organic and does not contain preservatives.
And, Goodness! I have been in Mommy time out too! Many times already!
Don't forget you are such a good Mom, and a good role model.
