What Is The Diet & Weight For A 4 Month Old?
Hi, My daughter is 5.8 kgs by 4 months and her birth weight was 3.8 kgs. She is being exclusively breast fed. She is neither cranky nor craves for more. She sleeps through the night as well. But she keeps sucking on her lips, which makes me feel she might be hungry. However she refuses to take more milk if offered. Her weight gain is also a concern for me. Please advice

Hi...your kid was born with a birth weight of 3.8 kg which is slightly on the higher range. So even if she is 5.8 at 4 months do not worry. A lean kid might show more growth but a kid like this might show less gain in weight but still be healthy and active. So ....DO NOT WORRY.
CONTINUE EXCLUSIVE BREAST FEEDING TILL 6 MONTHS OF THE BABY'S AGE.
