sounds like this does not bother the baby,  correct?
 
if not, then all seems to be fine, ......seen  many babies gain like this for 
a number of weeks, ....gain will slow in  several weeks, as it should.
 
....sometimes when wt gain/week later slows parents  panic - "baby not 
gaining as usual! not enough milk!", have them do the math -  if gain continues at 
400gms/week for a year how much would baby weigh at one  year of age?, ...with 
this in mind you can help them be comfortable with the  inevitable slower gain 
and even with a probable weight plateau at some  point.
