AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi mom
Ideally the weight gets double the birth weight by five months.
if ur baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much.
Feed for longer time from one breast so that the baby gets both fore milk and hind milk.
Hind milk is rich in fat and thicker which will help in weight gain of the baby
