Weight loss of 400 gms instead of weight gain in 1 month is not acceptable. Frequently it is error in assessing the weight. Make sure you have taken the weight with same weighing machine with same cloths with zero arrow. If weight loss is real then baby needs to be evaluated especially nutritional aspect. I have a gut feeling that your baby is fine as long as she is alert active responsive and accepting feeds. It must be kept in mind that after 6 months of life the weight gain usually slows down and is not as rapid as during first 6 months of life. Best wishes
