Thanks for the query.
Your pediatrician is right, weight gain of your baby is very good.
The formula is weight becomes 3 times of birth weight at 5-6 month of age.
So don't worry about it.
Try giving your baby semisolid homemade food to gain weight.
Reduce milk , avoid bread and biscuits in too much quatity.
Hope i helped you.
