Birth weight was 2.8 kg
Discharge weight was 2.6 kg
He is on breast feed.
Please suggest if the parameters are ok and also the doctor is saying to start solid from 5 months as growth is not adequate.

Dear parents,
Note growth
First quarter 750- 1000gm per month
Second quarter 500-750gm per month
3rd quarter 400-500 per month
Birth weight 2.8 +3kg for 4month=5.8kg
Present weight 6.1kg
5.8+250gm=6.050
Weight is good
Semisolid should be started only after completing 6 months
