A. Hello mom normally babies double up their birth weight by the age of 4 to 6 months and as he is been a premature baby they tend to gain weight on a slow pace as compared to full term baby

A. If your baby's doctor thinks it's necessary, you may have to supplement your baby with additional feedings of either pumped breast milk or infant formula. You can also try to pump and separate your foremilk from your hindmilk. Hindmilk is higher in fat and calories, which can help your baby gain more weight.
