dear,

weight of baby doubles in five months.since your baby had 3.54 kgs at birth and current weight is 300 gms above then that so do not worry much about weight. baby is required to be fed as per demand.for simplicity you feed baby every two hour be it milk(breast or otherwise) as much as baby eats. you have started giving solids , its good if baby is able to eat although normal schedule is to start with liquids at 5th month and then gradual shift towards semi solid and solids. i wish you and your baby healthy days ahead.
