Q.

hello doctor, how to know if milk supply is enough for baby? My baby is 5 months 14 days old, he is exclusively on breastfeeding and his pee count is good above 8 to 10 per day. But his weight is not gaining much. His current weight is 5.28 Kg , birth weight was 2.72 Kg. He gained only 140 gms last month. I am really worried about his poor weight gain , otherwise he is active playing ,pee/ poop is fine. what could be reason for slow weight gain?

A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and theregafter stage 3 .iy after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .
