A. To help a newborn gain weight in a healthy way, the focus should be on proper feeding, monitoring, and care. Here's a short and helpful guide: Feed frequently and effectively: Newborns should be fed every 2–3 hours. Ensure your baby is latching well if breastfeeding, or getting the right amount if formula-fed. Don't limit feeding time: Let your baby nurse until they are full. Hindmilk (the milk at the end of a feed) is richer in fat and helps with weight gain. Ensure your milk supply is sufficient: If breastfeeding, eat a nutritious diet, stay hydrated, and consider lactation support if needed. Use formula if advised: If weight gain is slow, your doctor may recommend supplementing with formula or expressed breast milk. Track weight and growth: Regular check-ups with your pediatrician are important to monitor progress. Watch for hunger cues: Signs like sucking fingers, rooting, or lip-smacking mean baby is ready to eat—even if it hasn’t been long since the last feed. If your baby isn’t gaining enough weight despite frequent feeding, it’s important to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. Let me know your baby’s age and weight if you'd like a personalized plan!
