POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. Thanks! Since your baby is 11 months old and not gaining weight, let’s focus on a high-calorie, nutrient-rich diet plan that’s easy to digest and also helps in healthy weight gain.
Ideal Diet Plan for an 11-Month-Old Baby (For Weight Gain): Early Morning (7–8 AM) Breast milk or formula milk – as per baby's routine Optional: ½ banana mashed (rich in calories and potassium) Breakfast (9–10 AM) Suji (semolina) halwa made in ghee with a little jaggery
or Ragi porridge with ghee and mashed dates
or Mashed potato with butter/ghee Mid-Morning Snack (11:30 AM) Fruit puree: Banana, chikoo, apple, pear, papaya
or Boiled egg yolk mashed with a little milk/ghee (if baby eats eggs) Lunch (1–1:30 PM) Moong dal khichdi with ghee and veggies (carrot, peas)
or Rice + mashed dal + ghee + curd
or Vegetable Dalia or soft paneer mashed in rice Afternoon (3–4 PM) Breast milk / formula milk 1–2 soaked almonds (peeled & mashed) + 1 date (optional) Evening Snack (5–6 PM) Fruit smoothie with banana + curd
or Whole wheat pancake with ghee
or Homemade vegetable soup Dinner (7–8 PM) Soft roti dipped in dal or mashed rice with vegetables
or Suji upma with ghee and veggies Before Bedtime (9 PM) Breast milk / formula milk Tips to Help Weight Gain: Add ghee, butter, or oil to meals for calories. Try giving 5–6 small meals instead of 3 big ones. Include full-fat dairy like paneer, curd, cheese (in moderation). Offer new foods slowly, but consistently. Avoid junk food or sugary snacks. Check for worms or any digestive issues if appetite is low.
