Suggest Treatment For Improper Growth Of An Infant
What was the birth weight
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
What was the birth weight?
Usually babies double their birth weight by 4 months.
Do not worry as long as your baby is active , feeding well and growing well ( i need the birth weight to comment on weight gain )
I would suggest few tips :
1. Continue exclusive breast feeding, even more frequently than your current frequency.
2. Good nutrition to mother which should include atleast a litre of milk and 2 litres of other liquids. Milk output will increase with good nutrition with vegetables and fruits.
3. recheck weight in a month to assess the gain in next month.
Let me know the birth weight and her activity level
Wishing your baby good health

Detailed Answer:
For birth weight of 3kg , the current weight should be 5 to 6 kg.
Don't worry, it's slightly below expected.
It's not alarming.
Continue to monitor every month, and do follow the tips mentioned.
