ExpertArchanaNutritionist4 years agoA. Hi , baby's weight gain mostly depends on birth weight hence on an average we can expect baby to gain about 500 gm to 1 kg in a month, double at 6 months and triple at the age of 1 year compared to birth weight. small deviation is absolutely fine.
if your baby is active, happy and eating properly, then nothing to worry.
kindly continue with exclusive breastfeeding for complete 6 months, it has all required nutrients for baby's growth and health.
feed on regular intervals after 2 hours or on demand, maintain good hygiene, avoid force feeding and overfeeding.

Nandita BaranwalMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hi,
You should do exclusive breastfeeding till 6 month dear. After that give Home made nutritious food..Soon baby will gain weight but right now your milk is important as it will give essential immunity from many diseases.
Do massage daily.
