Hi thanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor In my daily practice I many times see such weight pattern. Thing to note is babies weight gain is poor till 45 days of age. After that age she is gaining normal for her age, I mean it increased from 3.7 kg ti 4.6 kg in one month from one and half month to two and half month. And again she gained 400 grams in next 15 days. I would also like to know her length and head circumference. Regarding supplements if her doctor is if opinion she needs, can be given. Regarding initial poor weight gain had there been any feeding problem. At present gain in weight , there does not seem any reason to worry. Hope I answered your query revert if you have any other query thanks
