Hello my son is just 2 and half month old. His birth weight was 3.5 kg. Now his weight is 7kg. He is on both breast milk and formula milk. What is the reason behind this weight gain and how should I stop it

Hi, Babies normally double the weight by 5 months,so your son’s weight is on the higher side.
Next Steps
Stop formula. Breast feed on one side, if he is not satisfied then only give other breast. Feed on demand only.
