How Can To Increase Weight Of An Infant?

Hello doctor, I have no milk secretion at all from day 1, so started with formula feed to my boy baby from day 1. My doc suggested similac advance 1 hence I started feeding him,but I found him causing stomach problems that lead to constipation and gastritis.. But his weight gain was too good than expected...in a weeks time he gained 1kg and I was so happy...but because of that gastritis I changed to lactogen as many of my friends and families suggested...now he is free from stomach issues. But my only concern is that his weight gain is not that much when compared to similac...so I am worried and confused..now he is 3months old..so suggest me pls?

Hi,

As you also must be aware of the fact that the mother's breast milk is the best formula for the child's total development.

I would suggest you treat your low milk formation issue and get best results for your pal.

And the second thing, I want to highlight that do not go for the numbers, the playfulness of the child, urine output, overall growth is much vital which have to be correlated with weight, which is a gradual onset process.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
