Hi, if your baby is active, happy and reaching her milestones, then nothing to worry about her weight.
baby's weight growth depends mostly on her birth weight, hence we can expect baby to gain about 500 gm to 1 kg in a month, double at 6 months and triple at the age of 1 year, small deviation is absolutely fine.
continue exclusive breastfeeding for complete 6 months
feed on regular intervals or on demand.
maintain good hygiene
avoid force feeding and overfeeding
