Baby weight is not very low.
Baby will gain another 500-600 gm if you have delivery at full term (40 weeks).
You can do nothing at this stage. But you will get many advises regarding diet and protein powder.
But there is no way you can find out whether your baby gained weight just naturally or he/she gained weight because of protein powder.
