A. Ideally, baby should gain approximately 140-200 gms weight per week and by 5th month, it should double the birth weight. So considering this your baby is gaining weight in a good way and there is no need to be concerned about it. Keep feeding breastmilk or formula in every 3-4 hours which should include atleast 2 times night feed too.
