if anybody has same problem plz help priya replied. my baby was born 6 lb 10 oz and at 1 month check up was 9 lb 7.5 oz. doc was happy with his weigt gain. Its good be chubby plus babies are born more then 8 lbs, at 5 week this isn't too much. do what u think is right. sai replied. Hi,
dont ever do that! just feed the baby whenever he wants. follow baby's cues. dont worry about his weight gain. breast milk is the right and best food and u need not worry about weight gain. initially babies gain fast till about 3-4 months and then it will slow down. i have a 7 month old baby and i wonder about his slow weight gain. so pl continue to feed him as and when he wants even 1-2 hrs.
