A. Dear mum, weight of 5.4 kg is absolutely normal for 3 months 22 days old baby, do not worry. Baby should gain at least 500 grams per month on an average. The feeding pattern varies from baby to baby, some babies feed for lesser duration. Continue to exclusively breastfeed till 6 months complete. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
