Baby weight gain in formula

2025-04-12 09:44:34
Hi. My son is 40 days old. His birth weight is 2.56 kgs. He is under formula feed since the birth, because i have low milk supply. We are giving him aptamil. 60 ml (sometimes 90ml based on demand) Now his weight is 2.9kgs only. Is it normal? What should be done for weight gain? I am also expressing breastmilk whenever possible. Though i am getting 5 ml only each and every time
