A. Hi, Baby will gain good weight once you will start giving semi solid and solid food once baby completes 6 month. Till then please give exclusive breastfeeding as mother's milk gives lifelong immunity to baby and also it is easily digestible. Generally babies get their weight thrice by 1 year and twice by 6 month of their birth weight.
