A. Dear ma’am, yes absolutely fine. Most babies double their birth weight by around four to five months and triple the weight by one year. So continue to encourage frequent breastfeeding

A. Hi hi make sure that you try to to feed for longer time duration. Like 15-20 mins each breast. So what happens is This way baby will get balanced foremilk and hind milk. Foremilk comes in the beginning for 5-10 mins then comes the hind milk which is rich in fats and can help baby gain weight. So always empty a breast each time duirng feeding. Always try to feed for longer hours that is very beneficial to the baby.
