Hello,
Kindly mention your baby’s birth weight and current weight. Also let me know whether your baby is on exclusive formula feeds or a combination of breastfeeding and formula feeds.
If your child’s current weight is appropriate for their age, is feeding well, and is active, there is usually no need to worry. Every baby grows at their own pace in terms of weight and height,..
Please share the above details so I can guide you further.

We shouldn't compare children; each one has their own unique genetic makeup.

You should have shared baby’s current weight and birth weight
If baby taking feeds properly and weight gain is regular then there should be no concern
