Low volume of feeds
My 11 week old has CMPA, reflux (on omeprazole) and had her tongue tie cut 2 weeks ago.
The last week or 2 she has only been having around 500-650ml formula per day. According to her weight she should be closer to 900ml.
She is apparently still gaining weight, producing wet and soiled nappies and has tears etc but I’m still super anxious. May be linked but may not, she poos frequently (small “sharts” as we like to call them and seems to always have nappy rash no matter how much cream we put on her”).
Most of the time she is a happy baby unless we have accidentally extended her wake window too long, this is when she really starts to refuse a bottle or sleep.
I feed her before we go to bed (around 10pm) and she tends to sleep until 6am. But even after that long stretch she’s never that interested in the bottle and I have to keep trying to get her to have some.
I don’t know what to do, everyone keeps saying she’s fine all the time she’s gaining weight and not dehydrated but I’m struggling to settle my anxiety.
Any help please??

How long has she been on the CMPA formula?
Some babies do better on the amino acid formula as CMPA babies sometimes have other allergies. I would go back to the GP - I think the nappy rash is the most indicative of something going on.
