Thanks for posting on healthcaremagic. Logical or zincovit do not help in gaining weight. Zincovit is vitamin supplement and logical contains calcium. Zincovit is started from 21days of life. Though some doctors might not feel it necessary, I personally would suggest continuing it. Most mothers are deficient in calcium and so are the babies. So I would suggest calcium and vitamin D supplement. But for gaining proper weight proper and exclusive breast feeding is best
