A. Sometimes bad happens even if you have sufficient amount of mil but quality of the milk is not good to give quantity can really be good but not quality necessary and maybe that’s why your child is not gaining weight properly so if you want to have better clarity I suggest you a consultation with a lactation specialist ones and if required start with formula feeding as well
