#AskTheExpert Baby girl weighed 3.3 kg at birth with a height of 47cm. At 4 months, she is weighing 4.7 kgs with a height of 64cm. Overall, it seems to be a lower weight gain. However, the baby is very much active and playful, sleeps well and has shown a consistent increase in weight. Is there any need to worry?

A. Dear mum, you are right, though the weight gain has been on the lower side, your child being active, playful, achieving all growth milestones indicates good health. You should continue to exclusively breastfeed your child 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.
