Hi lybrate-user, please do not worry. The birth weight has to double by 1 year of age if in 6 months he has reached 5.6 kg is not bad. Start supplementing and introducing other foods now like fruits / veggies and cereals. But make sure to start one thing at a time and wait for 3-4 days before starting the next food just to observe it's suiting your child or not. This is in addition to the breast milk. That continue till 1 year.
