A. dear mum, you should feed your 2.5 months old baby on demand even during the night time. there is no need to wake up your baby for feeding. if your baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.

A. Feed every few hours even n night like 3-4 hours. in the first 3 months, babies put on about 800-900grams each month. From 3-6 months, weight gain reduces to 1/2 kg/month. from 6-9 months, it becomes 1/3, and for 9-12 months, it becomes 1/4 kg. the birth weight doubles in the 4th month and triples when they reach 12 months of age.
