Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Premature babies are often slow in gaining weight. Make sure that he is eating well and that he is getting enough nutrients. You can speak with a pediatrician to discuss the possibility of a change in his feeding schedule or the use of specialized formulas to enable him to gain weight continuously.
