My daughter is 3.5 months old and her current weight is 5.75kg. Her birth weight is 2.78kg. She is very active and mostly on breastfeed. Is her weight okay or I need to worry about it?

Weight gain is adequate. At 5 months, baby's weight should be approximately twice the birth weight. So, continue exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months, then give complementary feeding alongwith breastmilk.
