At 4months 5.7kgs is an average weight but certainly not underweight.and breast fed babies never get chubby as they eat till they want,where as bottle fed ones at this age will be chubby as they eat more than they require.i think u r comparing ur baby's weight with others.and thts y u gt this concern.if ur baby has completed 4 mnths and if u feel he is skinny,u can strt with rice cereal,dhall rice,idli mashed in milk(milk shud be very thin or u if u can then u can express ur breast milk and mix it with it)give him lots offluids like water/juice(better use apple juice as citrus juices(orange)will cause digestion problemin this stage)..
dnt worry,as long asthe baby is happy and active weight will never be an issue..
all the best
