A member asked:

Ive got a 5 months baby, ive just noticed that shes losing weight instead of gaining. and i only breastfeed her. could this be a red flag?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Failure to gain weight at the accepted level is a problem. It is most often due to less than optimal feeding efficiency leading to too few calories attained/day. It can also be a sign of other health issues/illness. I would confer with her doc.
