#asktheexpert my baby is 20 days old. Her birth weight is 2.5kg. what should be her ideal weight now? Please suggest how to measure it at home?

A. Hello dear parent! Fit the first few days after birth there can be a light dip in weight. Nothing to worry as long as your baby is active and healthy, accepting feeds, passing adequate urine 6 to 8 times in a day. There should be a minimum weight gain of 400gms to 500gms in a month. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand.
