Babies normally triple their birth weight by 1 year of age. By what you've mentioned above, your baby has already achieved that at 8 months. I don't think you have anything to worry about considering that your baby had a low birth weight at the time of birth. Continue complementary feeding and breastfeeding and she will do well. A chubby baby is not always a healthy baby.
