Hi my dear,

Do not worry. It wonderful that your baby is eating, meaning that she is "really" enjoying the growing up process, i.e. supplying her body with the right nutrients.

Do not worry about the weight as I believe your baby is very active. So, while she eats and gets nutrients, at the same time, they use them to build-up new cells and being active.

So, she is at a perfect natural balance unless she is ill or have other medical concern.

Let your baby enjoy her food and life!

All the best to you both!
