I'm going to brag a little 😊 she woke up just once last night. Seriously, I feel this time God has blessed me with a chill pill and an angel baby.

She has long A time before bt  these last days and I feed her after her last nap, two hours later and before bt. I've also noticed that when I eat more carbs I have more milk and she is less gassy and upset. When I eat more healthy options and veggies she is upset and looks like she has reflux flear up (her mouth was foaming from heart burn). If I continue eating those foods will her tummy get used to them and be able to tolerate them more? I give her probiotics and gas drops too.

Have you discussed it with your doctor?  I've not heard of veg having such an effect.

It was just a coincidence I guess because she was fine after that and I have continued with the same diet. She woke up this morning with colic and is fussy and crying all day. I believe because I had soy pate yesterday :/
But in general she is doing great. At nights she wakes between 1-3 and 5-6:30, during the day she feed every 2,5-3 hours. She feeds fast, less then 10 minutes, usually 5-7 minutes so I was wondering but she is doing great. She has gained 3.5lbs since birth. And the milk supply in the breast that I had low supply issue as improved and now it`s even. So after the rough start we are doing great. Hopefully it`s smooth sails from now on.

Thats great. I would honestly just trust that your body will do what it needs to do, what it was designed to do, and not try to second guess supply.

 I'm confised now...
We went for her 2m check up two weeks ago and she had gained 1.3lbs in a month and the doctor wanted to see how it goes in two weeks so we went today.
She's only gained 0.5lbs. She wants us to come back in two weeks. She said her head has grown and she has grown 2cm in two weeks and is 23 inches.

She was born 8.3lbs and is 12.1lbs now. From what I saw she is in the 47% (not sure about this)

Shoud I worry? Dh commented that it's because O dont eat anything. It was a joke but it made me wonder, from animal products I only eat eggs, veggies, fruits, and lots of carbs.

Unless a mother is severely malnourished the quality of her diet is not reflected in the quality of her milk. 

5.5kg/12lbs is around the 50th centile line for an 11wo. As long as she's going up consistently that sounds fine. 5-7oz a week is the average range so 4oz a week isn't far off.
