Weight issues
My son 5.5 month old exclusively breastfeeded till 4.5 month. After 4.5 i have started daal water to him. Since past one week after his recovery from diaper rashes he is looking skinny and loss of weight. Although he is eating and feeding well no issues with that. Also playing and rolling over. His birth weight was 2935 gms and after 4.5 months 6800 gms. Is it possible that he will loose weight? I am assuming by only picking him in arms.

Your baby's weight seems quite good. Now he will not gain much weight like he had in last couple.of months. Diaper rash cannot decrease weight in anyway.
Next Steps
weight him after 15 days and see.
