A. dear what was the birth weight baby should gain atleast 500 gram per month and should double the birth weight by 6 months or less frequently feed baby every 2 hours , have frequent skin to skin contact, at one time feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain ensure that baby latches properly during breastfeeding.
