Hi Puja, first of all, just relax and calm down, as being stressed out will affect your milk supply. As for the weight gain, her weight gain is well within the range (5. 1-8. 1 kgs at 4 months) so nothing to worry here as well. As for increasing your milk supply drink ajwain jeera water and before feeding drink a cup of warm milk.
