@l_noel I hope something works out for you. Like some of the other posters maybe try increasing the nipple to see if her feeds improve. Good luck!

@l_noel maybe try adding more formula alone before anything else? the first month my babe wasn’t gaining enough so we upped his formula and in 2 weeks he had great weight gain. have you tried giving more than 2oz at a time? my son is 12 weeks and does 4.5 oz every 3 hours or so

@thomaslowrens I tride. She takes 1 hour to finish 2 oz, sometiishe takes 3 oz. I use dr brown bottle and size 1 nipple

@l_noel That’s a long time to finish a feed, she might get getting tired. The next size up might help. My daughter eats slow too and with the number 2 we got her feeds down to half an hour.

@l_noel She needs the higher up size nipple then if taking that long to eat. Size 2 nipples are for 3 months + and your baby is just around that age.

@l_noel Yeah that's way too long for a feed. We were dealing with that with our son. First we switched to size 2 nipples on the Dr. Brown bottles, but he ended up doing better with a different brand of bottles. Keep experimenting, but the length of time to eat and thus small portions is almost certainly a contributing factor to the poor weight gain
