Weight gain of a child is 20-30gm per day in first few months. First 10 days, the child may lose some weight to regain birth weight again. So from 57 days, we minus 10, so left with 45+ days. 30 gm each day means 1.35 kg in addition to the birth weight, which is 3.85kg. Thus child is on the right track, continue your efforts. Well done.
