3 & 1/2 month old baby weighs 7.7kgs
My baby was 3.24 kgs when he was born. Now he weighs 7.7kgs. He's 3 & half month old. Is this normal? My Pediatrician said babies only weigh 10kgs until 1 year so he won't put on more weight. But I'm worried as there's still 8& half months to go for a year and I feel he'll put on more than 10 kgs

Now weight gain won't be that fast
Baby at end of 1 year would be between 10 to 12 only, which is ideal
