Baby boy weight
My baby boy birth weight was 3.2 kg. He completed 5 months on 22 aug. His current weight is 5.8 kg at 5 month. He breastfeed 5 mins each breast in one session and take around 8 sessions in a day and 2 sessions at night. I am a breastfeed mom. Is this
weight normal?
If not, shall I express breast milk and do both I.e breastfeed + feed expressed breast milk in bottle.
Please suggest how I can increase weight of my baby if needed.

The weight of the child is less. At this age the minimum weight gain in one month should be around 500 grams. It is important to see or meet electrician expert will guide you regarding the position attachment and what died you can take to increase best milk. Your pediatrician will guide you whether there is any need of outside food or not but usually we recommended only after completion of 6 months of age. Also whether there is need of outside Milk or not will be also discussed by your pediatrician after examining the child
