A. Hello parent, your baby weight gain is good for 4 months and also depends on birth weight. At the end of six months baby weight should be 3 times the birth weight.

A. Hello good evening !!! By 5-6 months babies double their birth weight. Baby weight is fine infact in maximum range no need to worry if baby is active and achieving milestones. If baby weight is still increasing and is in maximum or more than the maximum range then check with Paeditrician for thyroid tests.
