General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think there is nothing to worry she has a normal weight 4900gr for 3,5 months. I don't suggest you to start formula.
I encourage you to continue breastfeeding as offten as she wants on average every 2-3 hours even at night.
Give nothing else but just breastfeeding for 6 months.
Have a balanced diet full of fruit and vegetables.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
