hello
as your baby having irregular stool with passing gas .
passing gas is indicating that there is some digestive problem.
As your doctor telling that feeding is insufficient , if there is insufficient feeding there will not be weight gain properly,
If the weight gain is ok according to age that means feeding is ok.
if the weight gain is not sufficient increase the volume of feed.
If the weight gain is ok it is to be rule out the cause of indigestion
i will advise you to give more breast feed than the formula milk
ok
take care of baby
