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.

Don't worry about weight .. it's fine... just continue with demand feeding.. katori spoon feeding is fine and better than bottle feeding iff breast feeding is an issue.. u need to relax as stress affects your feed too. .
Keep monitoring weight and length monthly with the vaccination schedule. .
Take care

Wt is normal as per age. You should not do force feeding. When Baby is hungry then only you offer milk, breast milk or similar advance
