Baby weight
My baby boy's birth weight was 3.600 At 2 months he weighed 5.6 kgs But at 2.5 months it became 5.1 kg Is it normal or something I should take care of. We are using home weighing machine. From past few days he has stopped eating formula milk and getting only mother's milk. His bowel movements are normal.

This minor variation in weight of asymptomatic baby is not significant . You could have weighed baby with clothes on , with wet duper etc . So you MUST weigh baby naked & with same scale. STOP formula . Why did you start it ?Its NOT needed .exclusive mothers milk .,breast feeding is the Best for baby upto at least six month of age. Enjoy the baby , worry not , keep the baby with clothings removed indi surely for ten minutes to give benefit of Vitamin D.
