Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
A child's weight is something that needs to be followed over time. If your baby has been gaining appropriate weightbkn a monthly basis since birth, then 20 pounds is just fine. Her doctor is keeping track of this. You can ask the doctor if your daughter's rate of growth has been normal. If the answer is yes, don't worry.
