Mgt: I would suggest supplementing with formula and discussing a nutrition evaluation with your PCP. Very often poor weight gain may be due to a decrease in caloric intake. I would also suggest reviewing the results of her Newborn Screening panel, including a CF screening test. Offering a variety of baby food and reintroducing the same food multiple times is important.
