A. during first month mostly the babies do not gain much weight but if baby has not even gained 200 grams also then you need to check that you are giving the feed adequate and also the formula feed your preparing is in right quantity

A. Hello there maam please do not worry about it too much. Baby weight depends on birth weight and normally doubles by the age of six months and triples by the age of one year. If baby is active and taking feed properly then no need to panic. Mother should take healthy food items including fresh fruits and dry fruits. It is not advisable to give anything to the baby other than mother’s milk till the age of six months. Thanks and take care
