1 Answer

ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years ago

A. Dear parent, exclusively breastfeed your baby for another 15 days till completion of 6 months. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain. Introduce top food after 6 months. If baby doubles the birth weight by 6 months, then do not worry about weight.
