A. Dear mum, it is normal for babies to lose weight after birth, so do not worry. They regain the birth weight by 15 to 20 days. For healthy weight gain, you should continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby till 6 months complete. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
