Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. in first six months the minimum weight gain should be 500 mg per month and it can go up to 1 kg per month also.
the urine output should be more than 6 to 7 times per day. the child should sleep after taking feeding.
meet the doctor for weight assessment.
if the above criteria is achieved then the child is having adequate milk intake.
if the growth of the child is proper there is no need to worry about tzhe sleeping pattern/ feeding as well as the stool frequency of the child
if adequate weight gain then no need to give formula milk
