A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Babeis they gain around 200 gms per week in the first month after birth. Then the babies they gain around 500 gms every month till six months. Feed after every 2-3 hours interval or when demanded by the baby for weight gain. give only breastmilk till completion of six months. start vitamin d and multivitamins supplements regularly. give Sunbath every morning for half an hour. massage regularly with coconut oil or almond oil. Please take Shatavari powder with milk twice a day to increase breast milk supply. Also feed the baby often which also helps in increasing breast milk supply. Masaage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. You can also use breast pump to take out milk which also helps in production of breast milk. Thanks and take care.
