ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. hello mom, weight is good, feed as often as they seem hungry or want comforted, offer more breastfeeds, feed from both breasts at each breast feed .
If you're concerned, meet with a lactation consultant or your pediatrician.

Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children3 years agoA. hi...During the first few days after birth, babies tend to lose some weight. The average weight loss in the initial few days soon after birth is about 5-7% (200-220 gm).
Your baby tends to have doubled his birth weight by the time he turns 4 to 5 months old. On average, your baby should gain about 400 to 500 gm weight per month.
As per the average baby weight chart, the weight gain of your baby during 6-12 months drops to 57 to 113 grams per week.
By the time your baby turns one-year-old, he tends to weight about 2 1/2 – 3 times his birth weight.
Do not worry about weight gain, if baby is active and achieving all milestone then do not worry about him being formula fed or breast fed.
