Hi mom
Mother should exclusive breast feed her baby till six months.
Feed for longer time from one side so that 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.
If ur baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much.
Ideally the weight gets double the birth weight by five months.
