VishruthaMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Babies usually should double their birth weight by 5th month and triple birth weight by 1 year. So they may gain 300 to 500 grams ever6month on average. Feed baby every 2 to 3 hours or on demand and burp baby after every feed. Give tummy time for few minutes multiple times daily.
Keep baby's room well ventilated, cool and comfortable. Dim the lights and feed at night. Keep noise levels and activities to a minimum after evening hours. Try to keep a routine of play, bath, and sleep timings. Massage and bath before bed. Give hindmilk that comes later from breastmilk which contains fats and keeps baby full longer. Use a white noise machine which plays soothing music or rain or water sounds. Swaddle baby for cozy sleeping.
