New born weight gain

2018-11-24 16:08:24
My baby is 2 weeks old. He was 2.436 kg when born. He had jaundice and his weight has gone down to 2.173 and recovered in a day. After a week he gained 100 grams and he weighs 2.275 kg now. Is it normal weight gain? Is he going low with milk supply ?

It's normal for babies to loose 10-15% weight in first 2 weeks of life, after which they'll gain weight if breastfeed properly. Ensure breastfeeding at a gap of at least 2 to 2-1/2 hours,and strict hygiene.
