A. not required the wieght gain is good it should double the birth weight by 5 months of age Weight gain depeens upon birth weight and maturity of the baby if the baby is active and feeding adequately don't worry about it feed for 10 to 15 min from each side

A. Hi mom. Weight of of ur baby is fine.. Ideally the weight gets double the birth weight by five months. Feed after longer time from one breast so that the baby gets both fore milk and Hind milk. Hind milk is rich in fat and thicker which will help in weight gain of the baby
