No weight gain in 4 month old
Hi,
My baby is currently 4 months old, on his last visit to the hospital at 3 months old he was 4.960kgs.
Today we checked his weight again and he is 5.060kgs.
There is no weight gain in the last one month.
His birth weight was 2.345kgs.
He is otherwise active, urine output is good as well.
Is there anything that can be done to increase his weight?
