@Perla she is 3 months old, she refuses to take bottles so we can't supplement. The doctor doesn't think it's a supply issue but maybe a case of thrush that just won't go away. My husband says the doctor is wrong and that she isn't to small, he thinks camadian doctors just have 'obese' weight charts and want everyone to be fat. His mother said a 3 month old should be 4kg our daughter is 4.4kg. Even if he was just worried or disappointed I am too and there's no reason to act like that. He didn't come home until 4am
Does she have symptoms of thrush? I think it can be treated. I think the standard of weight for babies is different around the world so I understand why your husband doesn't agree. I hope you can work it out, this is a time when you need each other as I can imagine it has been stressful.
Also, just wanted to add that your feelings are valid. I would be very upset with my husband if he didn't speak to me and then left for hours.
We came to a pediatrician in Toronto, she didn't think our daughter has thrush, I also didn't think she did since she had no symptoms and she said her weight is on the chart. She's small but she's staying in the 1-3 percentile.
Oh, that's good! How do you feel after getting another opinion?
So sorry this is happening! How old is your baby? I've had some challenges with feeding since I gave birth and low weight gain with my baby. She is now formula fed and in the 3rd percentile but doing well and meeting all her milestones. I know every baby is different so just wanted to share that some babies are just small. About your husband, has he been really concerned about her weight gain? Sounds like he might have been disappointed but that's no reason to take it out on his family. Hopefully you are able to talk it through together
