A. difficult to asess online. better to show to a specialist and get the right opinion as soon as you can. In such cases you can talk to a doctor and get some blood tests done to reach to a conclusion

A. Hello dear parent! As long as your baby is active and healthy, accepting feeds, passing adequate urine, reaching milestones then nothing to worry. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand. You can start giving your baby semi solids and water along with daily intake after 6 months completion. It is said to be ideal if the baby doubles its birth weight by 6 months completion and triples by one year completion.
