Baby weight
My baby girl was born premature at 34 weeks. Her birth weight was 1.9kg. She suffered breastfeeding jaundice for about 1 month after birth. She is 11 months old now but her weight is 6.1 kg only. I have started giving her supplements for weight gain but there is no significant weight gain shows. My concern is why her weight is not increasing. What should I do? She is completely on formula feed (similac neo sure). She is taking 3 meals in a day. Morning:- fruits, noon:- daal rice, khichdi or curry rice, Night:- cerelac. I am very worried about her weight. I consulted a few doctors regarding this but didn't get any satisfactory answer and solution. My humble request to you all please help me.
