85-90%of 3mm muscular VsD will close by 1 year of age with no residual problem, so be assured that your baby is in best of health. About feeding go as planned with your paediatrician as VsD will not be a changing factor in feeding and 5 day is too less a time to decide about slow/fast gainer, you are unnecessarily getting anxious. Enjoy your motherhood.
