Should I take her in?

DD had her 4 month check 2 weeks ago...the dr was not happy, as some of you know...he said he wanted me to fortify the formula she was getting and come back in, in a month just to weigh her.

I went back a week later(last Monday) and put her on the scale...she gained 1.5 oz. :-/ and that was after 3 weeks of NO gain.

Its been a week, and I want to go weigh her again. One, because I'm worried....two, because I think the formula may be making things worse. I wanna know if what I'm doing is working.

Should I go weigh her?

Formula is probably not helping her gain. Less calories than bm.

if it were ME in the situation  I would NOT go for another weight check if baby is getting at least 6 diapers in 24 hrs. (regardless of content)

We've been over all this...in fact, I think you were part of the post...

I just wanted to know what you ladies thought about me checking her weight AGAIN.

I'm just paranoid I guess. I want to know if she's gaining.
