Baby underweight? People keeps commenting on baby size.

My baby girl is 5.1kg at 16weeks original pd mentioned she is underweight and have to take apeton to up her weight. But we visited another pd and he said baby growth is normal and not underweight. Baby is on full bottlefed bm but doesn’t like to drink much milk and drinks about 590-620ml per day. But first pd said baby should alr be drinking 900ml per day. Although second pd say anywhere between 500-700ml per day is okay. Baby is very happy and hitting all her milestones well, in fact she is hitting her milestone faster than her age. But people around keep commenting on her size and it makes me very stressed out and angry. People keep asking why she is not chubby despite being on bm and it’s getting very annoying. She still have rolls on her arms and thighs but just not very chubby. It is normal? #adviceplease

My baby drinks around 500-750ml (also full bm) per day at 4mo, she’s naturally on the smaller side but everything healthy. Even so, now she’s 27m, she only weighs 11kg but milestones and everything still achieving. Don’t bother about those who keeps making unneccesary comments about my baby’s size. When my baby is 5-6m, people thought she’s like a year old (cause her cheeks chubby), now when she’s actually turning 3, people thinks she’s 1 😒. Mine didn’t even have rolls at 4mo despite her chubby cheeks 🤷🏻‍♀️. What I can say is, the 500-700ml intake is normal because when bb goes for checkups at PD/poly, they didn’t raise any issue with her milk intake.
