Babies double their birth weight by 5-6 months. So your child is doing well.
I have made several posts on the same on Instagram. Go by growth charts.
For any queries, kindly book an online consultation with me.

There is no need to worry .wt gain per day after birth is 30 g/ day. From 6 months weaning starts. So you need to introduce correct complementary feeds after 6 months. To know more about complementary feeding , we can connect over a video call . Thank you
