Very normal and actually very healthy weight gain. Babies gain weight more rapidly initially which slows down over time.
Babies are expected to double their birth weight by 5 month of age. Your baby seems to be on the right track. Nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
Follow up in consultation if any further advice required.

This is in normal range. Is it a girl or boy. Height, head size and milestones and overall development also is as important as weight. There are many other factors. Please visit a pediatrician for detailed advice

The normal weight gain for a new born baby would be roughly 20 to 30 grams everyday for first 3 months. And weight usually doubles by 4 to 5 months. Seems like he/she is on target. But keep in mind weight gain is not the only thing to consider while looking at.baby well-being

Growth naturally slows after the first three months.A gain of 5.95 kg at 101 days appears within normal ranges.Infants typically gain 150–200g per week initially, then 100–150g.Healthy babies usually double their birth weight by 4–5 months.
