A. Dear ma’am, what was the birth weight? How frequently do you breastfeed her? Is she active when awake and has adequate pee count? Rapid weight gain through formula is totally unhealthy and does more harm than good. Encourage frequent breastfeeding and also consider expressing little milk and give it as a top feed. I would suggest you to get hands on help from a certified lactation consultant and also discuss with your doctor before trying formula.
