During the first few days after birth, babies tend to lose some weight. The average weight loss in the initial few days soon after birth is about 5-7% (200-220 gm).
Your baby tends to have doubled his birth weight by the time he turns 4 to 5 months old. On average, your baby should gain about 400 to 500 gm weight per month.
As per the average baby weight chart, the weight gain of your baby during 6-12 months drops to 57 to 113 grams per week.
look out for the following signs to ensure that you are producing enough breast milk:
Breastfeeding is comfortable for you and is painless.
Your baby likes to feed often. Breast milk is digested quickly and your baby will want to nurse often. This does not mean that you are not producing adequate milk. Most babies will breastfeed at 1.5 to two-hour intervals or will have at least 8 to 12 feeds in 24 hours.
Your breasts will feel softer and emptier after each feed.
