weight gain
My LO was born on the 75th percentile (3.7kg) and will be 5months old next week. Since about 2.5month old she's been jumping on weight percentile and now is 8kg that's 91st. I contacted the hv and she's said amount of formula is right (around 34oz per day) and if her height is in proportion completely normal. My husband doesn’t want to take her in to get her height measured (he thinks I'm bothering the baby with my concerns!) and we did it at home and it's 65cm that seems it's lower than weight. I don't know what's the reason for this rapid weight gain and should I contact the hv again? Feeling confused.
She's a happy baby, still hasn't rolled just twists to the sides and relatively okay with tummy time.
Has anyone been through anything similar or got any advice?

No concerns at all, my boys both did similar, they slimmed down when they started crawling/walking etc
Recently weighed by a paediatrician at the hospital who had no concerns at all
