Hi

Considering the weight of your baby and comparing with birth weight your baby seems to be healthy.
As you are traveling long train journey I will recommend some medicine to be carried with you.

1) Paracetamol drops (100 mg/ml) one ml dose can be repeated after four to six hours. This is for fever, pain, excessive crying with unknown reason.

2) Sinarest drop-This is combination medicine for cough. 0.7ml thrice a day.

3) syp cetrizine This medicine is for running nose. This medicine will make your baby sleep too. Dose will be 2.5 ml thrice a day.

4) syp ondem (2mg per 5 ml) This medicine is for vomiting. Dose will be 4 ml thrice a day.

For loose motions please carry ORS powder.
Before leaving complete his immunization.
Prefer breast feeding during journey.
Baby's mother should also take plenty of water.
Use mineral water or at least packaged drinking water.

Hope this helps you. Happy journey.
