Baby weight will reduce in 1st week by 10% it is normal
But we have to feed the baby every 2nd hrly will 6 months
for adequate weight gain and dont add any complementary feeds
Baby should gain weight by 30gms/kg/day for first 3months
If it is less then we have to increase the feed frequency
Check baby urine output and well being
