Twin ll birth weight was 2.3 kg. now after one.month weight is 2.5 kg. what we suspect and how to investigate this case.. else otherwise baby active.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Calorie intake: Babies usually lose weight right after birth, but should be back to birth weight by 2 weeks. After that, i would anticipate 200 mg weight gain a week. Supplement feelings or use premie formula with more calories. If he vomits, won't drink, or takes too long to eat, then check nipple flow, swallowing problem, breathing or heart problem or digestion problem. Calories in vs. Calories used.
