Our baby has just had his 1 month checkup at the Baby Clinic.

Last week he gained 300grams and the Midwife told us that it was good.

This week, he gained 400grams, another Midwife did the weigh-in. She said he is gaining weight to quickly.

We now have to drop his feed from 125ml, to 100ml. He now seems very hungry after his feeds. He eats around every 4 hours.

We feed him NAN 1. On the tin it says at 1 month we must feed him 150ml's. So now we are very confused.

Any suggestions on how much a baby must gain in a week? And any idea what we should be feeding him?

Thanks.

What you should be feeding your baby is as much breastmilk as he/she will take.
