Mel replied. Babies 1-3 months should gain 30 gms per day (900 gm per month)
Age 4-6 months should gain 20 gms per day (600 gms per month)
Age 6-9 months should gain 15 gms per day (450 gms per month)
Age 10-12 months should gain 12 gms per day (360 gms per month)
Your daughter' s weight is fine. Don' t worry. What was her birth weight ?
At age 5 months a baby should be double his / her birthweight. So, at 6 months - (birthweight * 2) + (20 gms * 30 days) should give you her ideal weight. Hope this helps. charu sharma replied. hi puja,
