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 brfeastfeeding. meet the doctor for wefight assessment. if the above criteria is achieved then the child is having adequate breastfeeding

A. Hello mom If your baby is not passing urine properly and the lips are dry then these are the signs of dehydration. Baby should take a feed for 20 to 40 minutes at a time and you have to repeat the feeding in every two hours gap. If baby is not taking this much milk in one take and you have to repeat the feeding in less time gap
