Sounds normal for this baby.   Personally I wouldn't be too concerned
about the gain, but as the mom of a highly allergic child, I see a lot
of familiar things in what you're describing and that would probably be
an avenue I'd pursue.

I think mom's on the right track.  Though I question fruits and
vegetables in an significant quantity for such a young baby who could be
getting more cals from breastmilk.

I'd really be pursuing the food allergy/intolerance issue though as that
can really affect gain.
