Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
The baby's weight is normal for his age.
At birth the height is 50 cms and 75 cms at one year.
He should be around 60-65 cms after 6 months.
The baby requires some cereal based foods like cerelac, nestum in addition to breast milk after 6 months of age.
Hope this answer is OK for you.
