Weight gain is slightly on lower side but still acceptable. No need to start top feed now. Continue proper breastfeeding and recheck weight after 2 weeks. Generally 20-30 gm/day weight increase is there but upto 15 gm/day is also good.

Soon after birth  First 15 days there will be weight loss of 5-8% of total birth weight. After that daily 30gm-40gm weight gain should be there. 200gms in 15 days is less only
