dear parent, if your baby is active, playful, achieving all growth milestones, passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours then do not worry.

for healthy weight gain and growth, give adequate Quantity and frequency of top food. give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. give top food 3 times a day and up to half Katori every time. add Ghee to every meal. add powdered nuts like almond, peanuts, cashew nuts, walnuts to baby's food. you can give eggs and other non veg food. use full cream top milk to prepare recipes like porridge, kheer and give as milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. continue to breastfeed baby.
