I’m in the same boat as you. My baby is 13 lbs at 6 months. Started off at 5.5 lbs. I also didn’t go the pediatrician for a few months because of insurance issues and they don’t have a way to track that he’s growing and only see he’s off the growth chart.
I’m supplementing with baby food and going to start whole milk yogurt this week. I’ve noticed that baby foods all have different calorie amounts and always make sure to buy the highest calorie one with oatmeal.
My baby’s weight gain did pick up a bit since starting.

It’s such a struggle! I’m sorry you’re going through that. I also has a small baby (she was 5lb 14oz, and NOT my ftt kid) but BH she gained nicely.
I bought a scale, and I hope the ped will agree to let me track his weight at home and just keep him apprised. When I went in last week because I needed antibiotics for him, I discovered I had a $185 bill- for every time they weighed him! Im a little annoyed they didn’t tell me at the time, but whatever….

I bought one for $39…..it’s crazy. But what’s crazier is that they didn’t think to tell me! It’s not like they asked for payment at the time and I refused, they didn’t even tell me there was a payment due!! That’s 7 visits that they didn’t tell me there is a fee for!! After each one I had to schedule the next, so they could have asked for payment then.
