A. Mam sometimes what happens is even if you have good amount of breastfeeding it is not necessary that it would be that good in quality also that the child will gain weight despite having good quantity the qualities there which is why the child does not gain the expected weight in that case you should consult the doctor and combine your milk with formula so that your child takes both the feeding and gains better as per the progressing age
