Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The weight gain is more during first 6 months than next 6 months.
The baby doubles its birth weight by the end of 5th month and trebles by one year.
Your baby is gaining weight normally.
You need not worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
