The expected weight of your baby is 8.5 And u said the weight is 7.3 Don’t worry baby will buck up the weight Sometimes this much variation is ok Make sure u have added IRON AND CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATION TO UR BABY because that will help in weight gain of baby And make sure u r giving breast feeding also with other feeds
Next Steps
Add iron and. Calcium supplementation
Health Tips
Don’t stop BREAST FEEDING. Continue breast feeding with other home based meals.
