Taking long time to regain birth weight- outcomes or stories?

My baby initially didn’t gain BW by 2 weeks, problem with latch identified and some top ups introduced. Started gaining weight slowly but then lost weight again between weeks 4 and 5.
Seen by Paeds and switched to bottle feeding mix of EBM and formula and baby has gained significant amount of weight- nearly 1kg in 10 days. She achieved her birth weight by the 6 week point. She was always active, pink, wet and dirty nappies.
I’m now terrified she is going to have long term developmental problems because of this initial delay in the first 6 weeks of life :(

I’ve tried searching academic literature but a lot of it is about prolonged undernutrition or at an older age.
I wondered if anyone had any information or personal stories to share? Thank you
