Your baby's weight gain is on track. Most newborns lose some weight after birth and regain it by 10-14 days. Since your baby has already surpassed her birth weight, this is a positive sign of healthy growth.
Next Steps
Continue breastfeeding or feeding as advised, and ensure regular checkups to monitor her growth. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out!
