A. in first six months the minimum weight gain should be 500 mg per month and it can go up to 1 kg per month also. the urine output should be more than 6 to 7 times per day. the child should sleep after taking feeding. meet the doctor for weight assessment. if the above criteria is achieved then the child is having adequate milk intake.f if the growth of the child is proper there is no need to worry about the sleeping pattern/ feeding as well as the stool frequency of the child

A. Signs your baby is getting enough milk Your baby starts feeds with a few rapid sucks followed by long, rhythmic sucks and swallows with occasional pauses. You can hear and see your baby swallowing. Your baby's cheeks stay rounded, not hollow, during sucking. They seem calm and relaxed during feeds.
