Hi. Normally a baby grows around 30 gm per day in the initial 3 months. Her current weight is low and also for the last 15 days it has decreased very much. There are many problems which can lead to poor weight gain but the most important is improper breast feeding . Some causes of poor weight gain might be life threatening.
Next Steps
See a nearby Pediatrician ASAP!
