He's blindly going by his chart produced for the average baby. The baby was not lethargic nor sickly. She is breastfeeding and prefers to do that solely. My BIL was told by the pediatrician that his child may have a problem as they were off the charts. He's 6'7" and the mom is 6'2. The doctor didn't consider that...only what they are hand fed by the AAP.
A baby can be under fed and not be lethargic or sickly. Maybe the mother doesn’t produce enough milk. I don’t think an experienced pediatrician just goes by “according to his charts.” He has eyes. He can see if the baby is chubby and healthy or severely underweight and needs child protection services. Sounds like the mother is putting her desires over her babies health.
If a baby is starving, someone needs to intervene.
