Underweight baby.

My baby has always been on the lower percentile (3%). I was told once she starts solids she’ll be better. But I give her 3 meals, 5 3 oz bottles a day (combination feed) and 1-2 snacks. What can i do better? (She is a very active baby). I feel terrible and like a failure.

Getting frustrated with weaning

😔😔😔 Every breakfast time it's the same thing. Everything just everywhere, nothing eaten. The fruit and healthy food I buy for baby is getting so expensive (and she "eats" better than the rest of us currently!) for it all to be thrown on the ground. I'm really struggling with not seeing £ notes on the floor…
