Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The baby may have slow weight gain, and the most common cause is improper breastfeeding methods, leading to the baby not consuming enough milk. Insufficient feeding frequency.Newborns should be fed an average of 10 to 12 times every 24 hours. Some babies may not need to feed this frequently, while others may require more frequent breastfeeding to grow. If a baby feeds less than 10 times a day and experiences slow weight gain, the mother should take measures to increase feeding frequency to enhance the baby's nutrient intake and also boost milk production.
