A. you feed frequently. see with babies not all will be as per text. each baby has her own pace of learning n milestone s ok. so don't stress unnecessary. Well, this looks ok but avoid self medication. try giving proper diet n don't miss on dose in this.

A. Hello dear parent! A little plus or minus in weight is normal. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil. Good luck and take care.

Q. hello Doctor, My daughter is 40 days old, And her birth weight was 3020grams.After three days her weight was 2682 grams. Again we checked her weight on 12th day it was 2800 grams and she has not reached her birth weight till then. Doc said insufficient milk she gets hence start supplementing with formula. I breastfeed her 10 to 12 times and 4 times 30 ml formula. Now if I check her weight it is somewhere near 3600grams. is it sufficient for 40 days old girl? or the weight gain is slower ? how much should be her ideal weight by 40 days if her birth weight is 3kg
