Question

Is it normal for a full-month-old baby to gain weight? The baby has gained two jin and four liang (about 3.2 kg) in weight, with a height of 54 cm and a head circumference of 36 cm. Is this within the normal range? The baby is breastfed, but the milk supply is not very abundant. Is it possible that insufficient milk supply is causing the baby to be thin?

Answer

The full-month-old baby has gained two jin and four liang (about 3.2 kg) in weight, with a height of 54 cm and a head circumference of 36 cm, which indicates a normal growth trend. You should not worry too much about it. Suggestion: If you feel that your milk supply is insufficient, you can actively take galactogogues or lactation tablets to increase the milk supply, which will quickly restore stability. Additionally, you can drink chicken soup, fish soup, or pork bone soup more often, as these are helpful in increasing milk production. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
