#AskTheExpert hi my daughter is 3 and a half mnths old and weighs only 5 kg, she was just 2.3 kgs at the time of birth...hiw can i increase her weight?

A. While breastfeeding, you can feed longer from one side, so that the baby will get the hind milk which comes later and has higher fat content than the foremilk which comes first. Your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly. If not then make sure the baby is latching and taking feeds well or if ur milk supply is sufficient. Also there should be a gradual weight gain. Keep a check on these factors.
