first pd visit

brought yu ze for his appointment with pd at kk today. this appointment was schedule when he was born, not sure what is this visit about. pd mention to us that he is a bit small for his age now. she wants to monitor him closely for his growth. at week 8, he only gain 1.3kg from his birth weight. other growth are ok and well except for his weight. pd wants us to feed him every 3 hourly or max 4 hours, don't let him feed on demand. he is drinking 80ml now and sometimes, he can't finished his feed too. is he drinking too little? 

hubby is very stress over it and wants to give him more. i refuse to do it. i don't want to force feed him then to cause him to puke. won't it make things worse. i rather increase the amount slowly for him. since mummy and daddy are both underweight adults, maybe he is just like us, an underweight baby too. to me, as long as all his other development is good and well, its ok for him to be slightly underweight. am i wrong to think this way?

pd also help us to an appointment to see a surgeon 2 weeks later for yu ze's hernia. this has also cause another stress for daddy.
