A. To help your 3-month-old gain weight, it's essential to ensure they are getting adequate nutrition through breast milk or formula. Here are some suggestions to promote healthy weight gain: 1. Feed More Frequently Ensure your baby is feeding every 2-3 hours, or about 8-12 times a day. Offering more frequent feeds can help increase calorie intake. 2. Ensure Proper Latch (for Breastfeeding) If breastfeeding, make sure the baby is latching properly and feeding effectively. Sometimes a poor latch can result in inadequate milk intake. You might also try breastfeeding on demand rather than on a strict schedule. 3. Offer Both Breasts (for Breastfeeding) If breastfeeding, offer both breasts during each feeding to ensure your baby gets the more calorie-rich hindmilk. 4. Use Formula Supplementation (if needed) If your baby is not gaining enough weight through breastfeeding alone, consider supplementing with formula after consulting your pediatrician. Ensure the formula is mixed according to instructions to maintain the right nutrient balance. 5. Check for Feeding Issues If your baby is spitting up frequently or not feeding well, there might be a feeding issue such as reflux, which can affect weight gain. Consult with a pediatrician for guidance. 6. Track Growth and Consult Your Doctor Regularly monitor your baby’s growth and weight with your pediatrician. They can assess if your baby is following their growth curve and provide personalized recommendations if necessary. Since every baby grows at a different pace, it's important to consult your pediatrician to ensure your baby is healthy and to rule out any underlying concerns affecting weight gain.
