My son was 15 lbs 6 oz at 5 months. Just don't listen to her . All babies are different and gain weight differently. He's not overweight at all. My friend had a baby who is 4 months and he's already at 17 lbs. try not to let what she's saying bother you and maybe even pull up statistics to show her that your baby is at "normal" weight
