Weight loss
Hlo doctor, my 51 days old baby is 2.7 kgs now. Her birth weight is 2.8kg. We have kept in NICU on 16th day for low sodium level n weight loss. At that time she was 2.5. After treatment she was 2 6. It was informed that lactation is OK. After 2 weeks we reached our native and we have checked her weight on 48th day. It was 2.7kg. Native doctor told milk is not sufficient, so she prescribed powder milk 30ml and asked us to give breastmilk one time and powder milk next time. But my inlaws are not allowing. They have consulted with a gyno and asked me to take lactare tablets thrice a day and perinorm twice a day. I'm taking this for two days now. I'm not sure that my baby is getting enough milk. How can I check whether she is getting enough milk or not? Pls advise.

If the child is passing urine 5to 6 times a day and sleeping for 2to 3 hours in between feeds and showing a gain in weight , then your baby is getting sufficient feeds.
