Average weight gain of a newborn baby
My baby is 28 days old. He has gained approx 650 grams since birth (minus the weight loss). Is this normal? Or he needs to feed formula milk to gain weight

25-30g per day starting from day 10 of life. So over 18 days she has gained adequate weight. Please continue to breast feed her until she is 2 years old.
