1.5 month baby no sufficient weight gain
My baby boy was 2.7 Kg at birth. At discharge he was 2.5 kg. His weight gain in 1st week was 115 gms, 2nd week 200 gms, 3rd week 75 gms, 4th week 215 gms. Currently he is 3.09 kgs after a month. He looks very tiny. His activities are normal. His urine output is around 8 times a day. He poops once in 7 days. I m unable to understand the cause of his low weight gain. I do not know if I have adequate breastmilk. Whenever he feeds there is milk in his mouth. He looks content after feed and, doesn't cry.But when I try to pump milk, I hardly get 4 spoons. I consume Satavari daily. What can be the possible cause for low weight. I feel very worried

Don't worry. Worrying, itself hampers the milk ejection reflex. Give kangaroo mother care, that is, hold your baby close to your chest area and pat the baby gently. Let the child be sleeping next to you, (we call it 'rooming in') and not in the cradle. Have a proper balance diet. Don't worry about post delivery weight gain. This will improve your milk output. Breastfeed the child and if required give expressed breast milk.
