A. Dear mum, weight of 5.8 kg is a healthy weight for 3 months old baby, don’t worry. For healthy weight gain, you should continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby till 6 months complete. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
