This is quite acceptable weight gain, the trend on the graph is stable. Another 2 weeks please give her exclusive breastfeed, she is thriving well on it. Start complimentary feeds ( semisolids) after that.
Next Steps
Complimentary feeds are introduced to help growth after 6 months of age when breast feed is not enough for the purpose
Health Tips
Your baby is doing great. Don’t worry. Hope you are giving vitamin d drops additionally - equivalent to 400 IU per day
