Babies shouldn’t go on diet. They need all the fat to grow and weight gain should slow down after they start crawling, waking and running around. Also when they start solids. I think by then you’d probably wish your baby would gain more weight😅 However, if you are still concerned, maybe it’s better to consult a PD will be better

there is a risk of obesity in adulthood if baby weight is in higher percentile (not sure 75, 80 or 90). why not consult doctor to see what can you do. but eating and gaining weight baby is always better than those who don't.

dont concern.. full breasfeed ?

same weight at 2mth+.
