Formula is designed to help babies gain weight, not lose it. A formula's effect on weight depends on how much is given and whether it matches baby's needs.
If a baby is eating more formula than their age requires, they'll gain weight faster; if they're eating less or using a lower-nutrition formula, you might see slower weight gain. "Causing weight loss" is not something baby formulas are designed to do — if a baby isn't gaining weight as expected, it's likely due to an underlying health or feeding issue, not the formula itself.
If your baby's weight gain concerns you, talking with your pediatrician is your best path forward.
