Depends upon the birth weight.
Birth weight usually doubles by 5 months.
And rate of increase in weight reduces as the baby grows older.
So don’t worry.

Greetings.
A 200g weight gain over a month is lower than the typical expected average of 400g to 600g for this age.
However, infant growth often happens in sporadic bursts, and an overall weight of 6.4 kg can still be normal.
To understand the cause, it is essential to check feeding adequacy, including feeding frequency and the milk source.
Monitoring your baby's output metrics, specifically the number of daily wet and dirty diapers, provides critical insights.
Watch for other clinical indicators like changes in the baby's alertness, developmental milestones, or any signs of illness.

A weight gain of 200 g over one month at 3–4 months of age is on the lower side, but a single month’s weight gain does not always indicate a problem. Please ensure the weight measurements were taken accurately on the same scale. If your baby is feeding well, passing urine normally, active, and otherwise healthy, continue monitoring. Kindly share birth weight, feeding pattern (breast/formula), and previous weight records for a better assessment.
