A. in first six months the minimum weight gain should be 500 mg per month and it can go up to 1 kg per month also. the urine output should be more than 6 to 7 times per day. the child should sleep after taking feeding. meet the doctor for weight assessmenft. if the above criteria is achieved then the child is having adequate milk intake. if the growth off the child is proper there is no need to worry about the sleeping pattern/ feeding as well as the stool frequency of the child

Urine and stool output is normal and also look content after feeding. So why there is an issue gaining weight? Is it possible that the otherwise healthy baby has an issue gaining weight?
