Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. if child is not gaining proper weight you need to consult your doctor to rule out the cause and most of the time it could be because of nuetritional deficiencies like nutritional anemia and some other factors like malabsorption any chronic disease like codngenital heart disease or some chronic infection specially urine infection or worm infestation should be checked if required .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. See a minimum gain or 400 g is considered normal healthy for a child at this if your child is not getting that much it would be termed a little less than usual so if your breast feeding is not sufficient for the child in this case I would recommend you to go ahead with formula feeding for the child because monitoring wait once in a month is good if your child is gaining properly otherwise a lot of people prefer taking the weight every week also to make sure that their kids are gaining weight it’s your choiceWrite Your Answer Here
