Asking For Self, Female 28, lhr
my daughter birth weight was 2.9 kg and current weight after 38 days is,3.3 kg.. is it slow weight gain?
Hi, initially birth weight falls down and than comes to normal again. It’s totally fine. Just give her breast milk every 2 hourly.
If she is having good oral intake without any problem like diarrhea or vomiting or any problem, then it is ok to have this weight at this age. Continue motherfeed as much as she likes to take and as long as she desires with proper positioning.

What is your concern for checking her weight twice in a month ? Is she is your first baby ? If you have other babies how were they at birth ? Are you feeding her breastmilk ? How much time she takes milk ? How is her sleep pattern?

Good , give her feed 15 min each side. Every 2 hourly. Give yourself some rest, ask for help. Healthy mum=healthy baby.
