A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with afy proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which mayd be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. Every week a minimum weight gain should be hundred grams to 150 g if your child is not gaining this much so that means your breastfeeding is not enough so so about 4 to 500 g in a month is a good and healthy weight gain for the child
