Measure weight: Since babies are growing in length so rapidly during this time is is common to mistake weight loss as their body looks longer and leaner. You need to actually weigh the baby. Get on an adult scale with/ then without the baby and subtract your weight to determine his. If he is indeed losing weight, you should talk to your pediatrician. Normal weight for a 4 month old is 6-7kg.
