A. dear mum, you should exclusively breastfeed till 6 months complete. that's the most healthy way to gain weight. at one episode of breast feeding, feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain. however, if your doctor feels that formula is required then you can give as advised.

A. Hey parent, If your baby's doctor thinks it's necessary, you may have to supplement your baby with additional feedings of either pumped breast milk or infant formula. You can also try to pump and separate your foremilk from your hindmilk. Hindmilk is higher in fat and calories, which can help your baby gain more weight.
