my baby girl is now 4 months old. When we last weighed her at 3 and half months, she was 5.35 kgs. Her current weight is 5.6 kg which means she gained 250 gms in last 2 weeks. My pediatrician says her weight is low, and she should be gained 450 gms in 2 weeks? is this realistic, should I be worried
