#AskTheExpect My baby is 1month old she is not gaining her weight her born weight is 3.5 till her weight is same she is on BM feeding her in every 2-3 hours how to increase her weight

A. Have lot of skin to skin sessions with your baby. This is called kangaroo therapy. Both father and mother can do it. This warmth will greatly help to improve baby's weight. Also while breastfeeding, you can feed longer from one side, so that the baby will get the hind milk which comes later and has higher fat content than the foremilk which comes first. Also Your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly. If not then make sure the baby is latching and taking feeds well or if ur milk supply is sufficient. Also there should be a gradual weight gain. Keep a check on these factors.
