Hai good afternoon !! No need to worry your baby is in ideal weight.
Along with milk feed other dairy products ghee/cheese/butter, curd, paneer, fruits and vegetables,egg, dry fruits,dal, grains, millets adequate water and fluids for complete nutrition.
Add dry fruits mix powder/dates syrup/almonds powder with milk instead of health drinks .
Use Nutella with bread/dosa combination once or twice a week daily feeding might cause mucus.
