Baby looks thin
My baby boy is 2 months 2 days old and his birth weight was 2.3 kg and his current weight is 3.3 kg. He is a breastfed baby. In the first one month he did not gain much weight but started gaining weight after 1 month but his hands and legs are looking thin that everyone started saying he is weak and not gaining weight. Except for this problem he is active, has 8-9 wet diapers per day and poops every 2-3 days. Is there any issue with my baby
