Soon after birth First 15 days there will be weight loss of 5-8% of total birth weight. After that daily 30gm-40gm weight gain should be there.
200gms in 15 days is less only

Weight gain is slightly on lower side but still acceptable. No need to start top feed now. Continue proper breastfeeding and recheck weight after 2 weeks.
Generally 20-30 gm/day weight increase is there but upto 15 gm/day is also good.
