Child's optimum weight gain in a day can be 20 to 30 gm per day.
Initial days in breast feeding are very difficult. It is hard to establish breastfeeding.
Good that child is exclusive breastfeeding. Continue your efforts.
From 2.53 to 3.14 in 25 days is equal to 25gm/day so it is great.
Continue breastfeeding. No top feeding.
Watch for weight gain of 300 to 400gm in every 2 weeks. Urine frequency of 8+ each day.
