A weight of 6 kg at 3 months can be within the normal range depending on birth weight and growth pattern.
Formula feeding does not directly cause cough or cold. Cough, cold, and fast breathing are usually due to viral infections or other respiratory conditions. However, feeding while lying flat can sometimes worsen reflux or aspiration symptoms.
The most important issue here is the fast breathing. Please monitor for:
• Chest indrawing (ribs pulling in)
• Difficulty feeding
• Bluish lips
• Unusual sleepiness
• Breathing rate persistently >60/min
If any of these are present, or if your doctor has advised possible hospitalization, please get the baby re-evaluated promptly.
Continue formula feeds as advised, keep the baby well hydrated, and feed in a semi-upright position. Formula feeding itself is not a reason for hospitalization.
