Noticed A Sudden Weight Gain After Taking Formula Milk
Hello Doctor. This is Shweta. My son is 4.5 months old and he is on formula milk, Nestle Nan Pro1 from beginning. His birth weight was 2.6 kg, but now he has become 8.2 kg. Is it because of formula milk? If yes, can we start giving him juices/daal ka paani etc instead of formula milk?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Maximum the child can weigh normally about 6 kgs.
8.2 kgs is a bit over weight.
Correct preparation of formula and proper amount per feed as prescribed.
After 6 months you may add milk cereal mixtures in place of formula will do.
Don't try to over feed him so that he will be healthy.
Hope this reply is OK for you
