I am so sorry that your doc is not listening to you. I would definitly get a second opinion. There are growth charts that you could look up on line. It does not sound like your child is on the growth chart. One more thing... did you know that you can still breastfeed her? You can relactate, and if you are concerned that she is allergic to milk, all you have to do is cut out dairy from your diet, and she will still be able to thrive on your milk. Do not give up. There are other options out there! :)
