Gaining weight but not growing up
Hello. My 3.5 month baby is gaining weight but she isn't growing up. The pictures and videos of her 1month seem same as now. Her head is small, face is small and also body is small. She was 2.570 at the time of birth. Now she is 5.250 . But she still looks like a 1 month baby. Could you please let me know why this is happening to her? If her weight is growing she must be growing right? But everyone looks and tells that she is same as 1month. No changes. I am very worried. Will this be all right? Or she will remain small than others?
