Child Health Issues
Concerned about Newborn Weight Gain
My Daughter's Birth Weight was 2.6 kg. After 75 days her weight is 3.65 kg. Exclusively breastfeeding her.
Initial weeks her weight gain was lesser. Now she is increasing about 150-170gms per week.
I feel she should be given Formula milk topping.
But my Pediatrician is saying if the weight gain is showing an upward trend then no need of Formula. I am not convinced somehow.
Please suggest what need to be done !

Rashes on face and scalp
My 3.5 month old baby has developed rashes (see attached picture). These rashes come and go frequently. I apply Chicco anti rash cream. These initially appear as red patches, then a small boil like thing grows and the next day it subsides.
He used to top feed formula along with BM but for the past four days he is only on BM and is refusing formula.
Please suggest the reason behind the rashes and the remedy.

Baby not pooping
Hello doctors
My 1.5 month old baby girl poops once in 2-3 days. Her poop is yellowish green in color & is of soft consistency. She is completely formula fed as I've no milk supply.
Should I be concerned about her pooping? Is there a way to make her poop daily?
