Hello Sir, My baby was born prematurely at 32+5 weeks and now he is 2months and 10 days old, his weight at discharge from hospital was 1.8kg and now he is at 2.20 weight. I am worried about his weight gain.How can we attain the desired/term weight. Pls help. Can we start him on some Formula feed as i have searched a lot about it and so many people say it helps in weight gain. Thanks In Advance.
