ExpertRamya RamachandranNutritionist3 years ago

A. Dear ma’am, though it is best to feed on demand, still in the initial few months baby needs frequent feeds to meet his/her growth needs. If the weight gain is age appropriate and urine count is also adequate then need not worry. But make sure there isn’t a long gap of more than three hours during the day.
