6.0 kg weight is normal at this age. However, you should check his growth chart also. Your concern is that he is not growing in last 1 month. Was he sick in that month? Get him examined by a doctor for complete review

Hi. More detailed history required. What was his birth weight? As babies grow older the feeding time reduces and duration between feeds increases.
Next Steps
If baby is active and doubles weight at 5 months, then nothing to worry
