Q.

Hi, My baby girl weighted 2.2 kg at the time of birth and at complete three months she is 4.6 kgs. Is it a normal weight gain or should I worry about it? She both breastfeeds and formula feeds.

A. the weight of the child is within normal limits and also the weight gain of the child is more than 20 gram per day so so and do not worry and continue the regular feeding and breastfeeding is more preferable

A. Weigt is perfect not to worry. make sure that you try to to feed for longer time duration. Like 15-20 mins each breast. So what happens is This way baby will get balanced foremilk and hind milk. Foremilk comes in the beginning for 5-10 mins then comes the hind milk which is rich in fats and can help baby gain weight. So always empty a breast each time duirng feeding. Always try to feed for longer hours that is very beneficial to the baby.
