A. Feed your baby on demand. Make sure that while feeding, the baby empties one breast first before moving on to the next breast as the milk that comes towards the end is hind milk, which is rich in fat and helps in healthy weight gain of the baby. Always feed your baby in an upright position. Massaging your baby daily also helps in weight gain.
