weight is little bit less.
so you may give formula as per your doctor's prescription.
or offer plenty of breastfeeds.
feed your child on each breast at least 20 minutes so he or she can get full fat hindmilk well which help to increase your child weight.
give Massage to your child daily , use Babyhug massage oil which will help to improve your child bones and muscles.
