My neighbor has 6 month old formula fed baby. This is her 3rd child.

She told me today that she was really worried because he got his check-up and he wasn't gaining weight. He isn't off the chart but he went so low and it's freaking her out a little. Her ped told her it was normal but she was nervous because her first 2 kids were the opposite.

I didn't know what to tell her because I never fed DD formula. DD was born on the large side but has remained pretty average on the growth chart.

Anyone have experience with this?

TIA

is the child having enough wet and dirty diapers? How often is the baby eating and how many ounces of formula?
