Thanks for the query.
As weight gain depends upon birth weight there is nothing to worry.
Birth weight doubles at or after 5th month.
So in your case your childs growth rate is normal.
Till 6 month you need to give breast milk.
Iron and multivitamin drops will help make him strong and healthy.
Hope i helped you.
