Dear parent, weight of 10 kg is a normal weight for 17 months old baby boy, don’t worry. Baby’s weight at this age should be in the range of 8.6 kg to 13.4 kg.

At least 500 ml of milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, raisins, dates to baby’s food. Add ghee to baby’s food. Give 5 meals a day and up to one katori every time.
