Baby weight gain concern

2018-06-26 12:27:04
My baby is 4.5 months old. He was 6.8 kg on 30 May. Yesterday we again got his weight checked and found he is just 7.1 kg. Not sure if this weight gain is sufficient. From last one month , he is completely on breastmilk & feed on demand. Please suggest what can be done.

since you have not mentioned his birth weight it is a little difficult to comment on his weight gain. anyway, the birth weight should be doubled by the time the baby turns 5 months old. if you child is anywhere near that weight or has already crossed it, u need not worry
