In first few months weight gain is 20 to 30 gm per day..ie 600 to 900 gm per month.so your child weight should be bw 4.2 to 4.8 kg and you should be happy its on higher end.Continue breastfeeding ensure night time feeds..only breastmilk is sufficient upto 6 months of age...monitor weight every one month. Formula feeds should be avoided unless indicated.
