A. Hello mom babies tend to almost gain about 300 gm to 1 kg monthly and then by the age of 4 to 6 months they almost double their birth weight. Take a filling nutritious food that would be helpful preferably before baby feed time as that would ensure good quality milk and help in weight gain . Foods which do help in good milk production are garlic , oats , flax seeds , dry fruits , panjiri , drumstick and fenugreek leaves , jeera or ajwain or saunf water , milk , etc
