Brief Answer:
The weight increases in saltatory phases
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Let me assure you that there is nothing to grow concerned about. The weight of babies grows in saltatory phases i.e. the weight may remain static at a particular level for sometime before it starts increasing, and then may come to a standstill once again. It is nothing to be concerned about and nothing needs to be done about it. Just give him wholesome home food and it would be fine. Since the baby is overall active there is nothing more that needs to be done.
Feel free to write back.
Regards
