My little one stalled weight gain at roughly the same time and is small in stature compared with his counterparts. But his dad and I are not the biggest people in the world. As soon as I started weaning my little one and feeding him as much as he could take, whenever he wanted it the weight piled on. My little chap has always been very alert and active and only napping in the afternoon under duress. He is now 26 weeks and over 16lbs, eating three big meals a day and four 5oz bottles a day, he is still small but alert, happy and into everything. Always talk to your health visitor as they can reassure you and give you pointers. Hope this helps
