When we say average weight of a baby at so and so month must be between x and y, what does this mean- starting of the month, middle of the month or by the end of the month? Please confirm. Also how can we increase the weight of a 4 month old baby.

Baby should be a certain said weight atleast by the end of the said month. Give exclusive breast feeding on demand. As in , whenever baby demands, mother should be feeding. Only if this is not sufficient, then formula feeds can be given.
