Baby weight confirmation required
Hi, My 3.5 month old baby girl is 4.51 kgs. She was 2.35 kgs at birth. Is this a normal weight gain or is she running behind? She is a totally breastfed baby. Pls confirm if top feed has to be started if she is underweight. Also she is allergic to milk and I'm on a diary free diet. Tried supplementing with neutramigen but as it tastes very bad she is unable to drink. Pls help with any other hypoallergenic formula milk if I have to supplement along with my breastmilk.
