Slow weight gain in 5 months 7 days Baby

2025-03-18 03:23:30
Hello! My daughter is 5 months and 7 days old. She was born weighing 3kg, and her current weight is 5.45kg. I've noticed that she's gaining weight slowly , Despite this, she's exclusively breastfed, playful, and sleeps peacefully. Should I be concerned about her weight gain, or is this within the normal range?

Not at all. She's adequately gaining weight. Generally the 6th month baby gains double of birth weight.
