Weight gain issues

My daughter who is 3.5 months old weight 5.8kgs. Her weight during birth is 3.39 kgs. Is this under weight? I contacted a local pediatrician. He said my milk supply is not enough for the baby and asked me to given similac. I feel my milk supply is enough. My daugher refuses to drink milk from me and she is playing. While she is half sleep she is drinking well. I tried expressing the milk and given in feeding bottle and refuses that too. As per doctors advise she is refusing similac too. So I compeled her using a cup and pored in her mouth. I feel guilty about it. What should I do now? Please help.

Discontinuing breastfeed

Hello Madam, I am mother of 18 months old baby boy. I want to discontinue feeding him but gradually. Currently I have stopped feeding him during day time (earlier I used to feed him 2-3 times during day time ) and feeding him only during night time. My question is whether this is okay to have a such long break between the feeds. Also will that milk (feeding once In a day) good for him?
