Kindly give few more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern
But, for a true assessment I would like to know few more things. Kindly give the following details:
1. What was the gestational age at the time of birth- full term, or before due date? If possible, mention gestational age in weeks.
2. Her present length, if available.
3. How frequently you are feeding her day and night?
4. Any issues soon after delivery?- like low blood sugar, breathing difficulty, ICU admission?
5. Kindly upload her new born discharge summary if available
Usually, in babies delivered at term(after 37 weeks of gestation), by 6 months we expect 7.5kg body weight. If baby was born before 37 weeks, we have to consider adjusted age to see whether present weight is adequate or not.
Kindly get back with details, so that I can guide you better
