Hi Minakshi Baishya !! Firstly you continue with breastfeed. Secondly Ideally, an infant gains enough weight on just breast milk, till the age of 6 months, as mother’s milk is a complete meal for an infant. So, if the infant has doubled her birth weight at 5 months, there is nothing to worry. But in case this does not happen, consult the paediatrician.
