Q.

#askdoctors Can you please help me with idle weight for 5months baby and what needs to do gain weight quickly

1 Answer
ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years ago
A. Dear parent, the ideal weight of a baby at 5 months would depend on the birth weight. Baby should gain at least 500 grams per month and should double the birth weight by 6 months. The most healthy way to gain weight would be to exclusively breastfeed till 6 months complete. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
