A. Dear mum, a weight gain of 1.1 kg in 2 months is a normal weight gain, do not worry. You should continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby till 6 months complete for healthy weight gain. Avoid giving formula.

A. my pediatrician said baby should gain 1kg in a month.. he also said that he is not gaining weight because your bf is not sufficient for him.. that is why I asked you this

A. Hello ma’am What are your child is gaining good way and why do you want to start with formula feed for no reason Siri I would like to tell you if your child is going to wait with breastfeeding only then there is no requirement of formula feeding so do not start it before the age of six months unnecessarily continue
