Slow weight gain in 5 months 7 days Baby
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?
