Your child will grow fast in the first few months of infancy. Every month, your baby will gain weight and increase in height. You will be shopping for clothes more often. Do ensure that your child gets enough sleep and is well fed, vaccinated as per schedule and taken for regular check-ups. It is recommended that the baby is exclusively breastfed during the first 6 months and eventually introduced to other liquid diets or semi solid foods along with breast milk. The baby should ideally double the birth weight by 4-6 month of age.
