A. Hello mom check his weight according to his brith weight which would tend to double up by the age of 4 to 6 months . Also try to having a filling meal before baby feed time as that will ensure good quality and filling feed ..

A. Dear parent, a weight of 6 kg is absolutely healthy for 3 months old baby, do not worry. Baby should double the birth weight by 6 months. This is not a sign of low milk supply.
