???????: It is nice that you posted weights but you have not posted an age for any of them. A general approach to poor weight gain would be feeding more often to increase milk production and or adding a supplemental feed of 1-2 oz of formula after each feeding. If you can find a LALeache league member nearby they can coach her on technique.
