A. The Current weight is fine because your child has gained one KG in two months which is good because if your child gains somewhere on 500 g to 1 KG every month then that’s a good weight gain so why are you so worried keep breastfeeding your child your child will gain more weight with time , at least your child is gaining weight so don’t be so paranoid.

A. Hello ma’am When you are mentioning that your child is underweight at least you should have mentioned the current weight and the birth weight of your child. Apart from that also I would like to tell you there is a difference between a child being underweight and bloated so if your child is bloated and having issue in that area then consult a child specialist ones regarding the same because without proper check up nothing can be suggested to you
