#asktheexperts my baby's birth weight was 2.55 kg. Now she is 3.5 months old and her weight is 4.82kg. people around are saying it's low and I should start giving her formula. currently she is on my breast milk only. is she underweight? should I start formula?

A. Okay Ma’am let me make you understand the logic behind weight gain and calculation very easily with which you will decide on your own whether breastfeeding is enough formula feeding would be required or not so okay so check as per minimum expectation of 500 g in a way which turns out to be somewhere around 750 g after completing the time of 3 1/2 months if you evaluate the weight is little on the higher side as compared to what I’m saying so it seems healthy to me but you can evaluate yourself and what others say it doesn’t make a difference if the child is going healthy you should just focus on that
