A. Dear mum, you should feed your 5 months old baby on demand that is whenever baby wants and how much baby wants. If baby is gaining adequate weight, then baby is getting foremilk and hindmilk. At one episode of breast feeding, feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
