Brief Answer:
It is ok..he has gained 1.2 kg in 30 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi...this is perfectly fine.... he has gained 1.2 kg in 1 month.

Usually babies should gain 25-30g per day in first 3 months and later 15-25g/day in 3-6 months age group.

I know the history of your baby from previous conversation. He was born 27 weeks preterm. Now he is doing perfectly fine. Dont worry.
