Author of questionGuardian of 4 children8 months agoA. She is on breast feed completely and latching properly but still not gaining weight. Since she was puking also we consulted a doctor. He has advised on giving top feeds. But i am sure she is drinking my milk nicely. Can there be any other reason she is not putting up weight?

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy8 months agoA. It is normal for newborns to lose some weight in the first few days after birth, but they usually regain it within 10-14 days. Since your 15-day-old baby is still not gaining weight, ensure she is feeding well and frequently (every 2-3 hours, including at night). If you are breastfeeding, make sure she is latching properly and getting enough hindmilk. If needed, consult a lactation expert. If on formula, check if she is drinking the recommended amount. Monitor for pee counts (6+ times a day) and active behavior. If weight loss continues or she seems weak, consult a pediatrician immediately. Let me know if you need feeding tips!
