Concerns about baby's weight gain
My 3 months and two weeks old baby girl is diagnosed with laryngomalacia type two after birth. Her birth weight is 3.5 kg. Her current weight is 4.18 kg. Laryngologists suggest surgery by saying the weight gain is low. I would like to know if the baby is really underweight and also would like to know the surgery is really required
