My baby girl is 5months old and her weight is 5.4kg ,is this normal? Birth weight is 3.wkg

A. Your baby's current weight of 5.4 kg at 5 months is slightly on the lower side, but it depends on her growth pattern and overall health. Expected Weight Gain: Babies generally double their birth weight by 4-6 months. For a 3 kg birth weight, the expected weight at 5 months is around 6-6.5 kg (but some variation is normal). Key Things to Check: ✅ Is she active and alert? ✅ Is she feeding well (6+ wet diapers per day)? ✅ Is she gaining weight steadily, even if slowly? If Weight Gain Is Slow: 1️⃣ Ensure Proper Feeding: If breastfeeding, try feeding more frequently (every 2-3 hours) and check for a good latch. If formula-fed, ensure the right quantity based on her weight (around 150-180 ml per kg per day). 2️⃣ Check for Signs of Inefficient Feeding: Frequent crying after feeds or fussiness. Long feeding sessions without satisfaction. 3️⃣ Rule Out Medical Issues: If she is active but lean, it may just be her body type. If she is not gaining steadily or has digestive issues, consult a pediatrician. At 5 months, breast milk or formula is still the only recommended food. If you’re concerned, you can monitor her weight gain for a few more weeks and discuss with the doctor if needed. Let me know if you need feeding tips!
