Some Breastfed babies gain weight fast and some on avarage does this depend on quality of breast milk? For e.g. my friend baby birth weight was 2.5kg and with in 1.5 months baby was 4.7kg My baby birth weight is 3 kg and he is 4 months now and he is 5.3kg. Is my baby on track with weight gain? Or should I start weaning?

Nope. Don't start weaning before 5.5-6 months of age. These are "milestones" doesn't matter what speed they are going they'll eventually reach the same destination. Wt gain is your priority not comparative gain
