Baby putting weight slowly
My daughter 2 months was born with weight 2.3 kg. She breastfeeds but for a less time and sleeps within 5 to 10 minutes.At her 6 weeks checkup her weight was 3.7 kg. I am not sure whether I am producing enough milk for her.
Her height has increased but she is not becoming chubby. How to make her drink more milk. Her doctor suggested to make her drink from both sides since he thinks she is getting only foremilk.
