#asktheexperts My baby is 5 months and since last 1 month he has just gained 500gm. Earlier His wt gain was around 200gm a week but suddenly it's just 500gm last month. His current wt is 8.380. He has been spitting/vomiting milk since he was just 1 month and still does that. Is this the reason for less wt gain suddenly. He is on exclusive Bf.
