7 week old baby not gaining weight

Hi there my little baby girl still hasnt regained her birth weight. She feeds well, gives me plenty of wet nappies and poos well, so i know that shes feeding. Shes totally breastfed and Lycopodium seemed to help her a lot with her appeitite but shes still not gaining. She appears healthy and happy alert when awake and just like any other baby. She has been diagnosed with down syndrome ( I really dont like that term) but its the commmon term used for having an extra chromosome, and she has a large ductus artiriosis that has'nt closed yet. My homeopath has suggested Calcarea Fluorata, which im now trying today.
Im open to any other suggestions and wonder if anyone else has had a simmilar experience?
thank you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

There is no specific remedy for closing ductus artiriosus. i don't know on what basis your homeopath has selected CALC FLUOR. Whether he is the same homeopath who selected Lycopodium?
