A. Dear mum, weight of 5.4 kg is absolutely normal for 3 months 22 days old baby, do not worry. Baby should gain at least 500 grams per month on an average. The feeding pattern varies from baby to baby, some babies feed for lesser duration. Continue to exclusively breastfeed till 6 months complete. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.

A. Hello mom babies will double their birth weight by the age of 4 to 6 months and then triple by the age of one. Year .. you have to take a healthy diet before the baby feed time as that will ensure good quality milk and which is filling and Also help in weight gain
