A. That is actually a pretty good weight gain. In the first 15 days the baby will lose the 10% of the body weight and then after will gain 30 g per day.And when compared to breastmilk,formula milk will add more weight Write Your Answer Here

A. This is normal, 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.
