What is the ideal weight gain during pregnancy

My 47 days old son recently went through check-up. It was calculated that he's gaining weight at the rate of 44.8 gms per day (ideal being 20gms) and doctor suggested me to cut back feeding a bit as he's going on the track of overweight. Any suggestions on what needs to be done?
