My Daughter Is 4.150 Kilograms In Her Third Month. Is She Having Under Weight?

My daughter is 3months and 10days old. Her weight now is 4.150 kgs. She was 2.900 kgs at birth. She's currently on just her mother's breastfeed and some calcium and iron drops. My question is that is she under weight for her age? Should we panic? Her doctor did a heamogram wherein her haemoglobin is 9.9. What is your advice.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Your baby is having appropriate weight.
Baby doubles his/her birth weight by 5 months of age.
Hb is low so continue with iron drops.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
