Our baby is 1 month old. we weighed him today and he only gained 200g
he was fully breastfed, almost every hr, and every session takes up to 30 mins.
I thought he was well-fed, he has no problem with latching and breastfeed schedules.

The doc warned us if the baby still has low weight gain he's gonna refer us to the hosp.
I was thinking to supplement his feeds with formula milk. What would be the good ones for newborn?

this is my first time as a parent, be nice. tq!

it's not normal said the doctor.


normal birth, no complication. once had jaundice, but all good now.
he's in the low percentile. his birth weight is 2.7, his current wt is 2.9

i was thinking of doing the same lah..is he of normal weight now? what formula is good for newborn

sudah makan gemuk also but baby tarak gemuk
maybe the bf milk not much nutrients in it?

yeah..the doc pointed out the chart to me and tell me it's 'worrying'...he's scared he might never gain wt. but here's the weird thing though, the baby is completely fine. poop/pee all fine, no jaundice, can grip things with his hands, turns head from side to side, responds to TV, talks to us in his own baby language

so could it be possible that he's just...small? cuz i am a small person too.

oh i understand now. guess as long as his development is healthy i dont need to worry lah

so most likely in my case, it's not ENOUGH milk la right? so frustrating since he sucks very very frequently. I thought he feeds a lot...
