you have to ask your pediatrician to mark weight and height on growth chart so that you can trace wether child is in normal range or not. Your child weight is in normal range. Usually early infant period the weight gain is more compared to later period that’s y they put on less weight but that doesn’t mean low weight
Next Steps
Give daily milk and egg ever 3 days
Health Tips
