i'd ask about changes in height and head circumfrence.  these are more
reliable indicators of growth than weight gain in the second half of the
first year for a breastfed baby. Lie soeone else said, if the baby is
developing normally, is getting taller (although that an be hard to measure
accurately for a squirmy baby), and is eating and / or nursing - doesn't
seem like there's a problem.  Also one month doesn't seem like a long
enough interval for weighing an oldervbaby and expecting obvious change.
bbay could gain a bunch all of a sudden after none at all for a few weeks.
unless, of course, this baby has been slow weight gain all along and its
not just the past month that is of concern. .. .
