A. Dear parent, weight of 7.4 kg is fine. Avoid giving oats as it is heavy and reduces the appetite for other food. Oats can be given after 2 years. For healthy weight gain and growth, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. At least 500 ml of milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add powdered nuts like almonds to baby’s food. Add ghee to every meal. Continue to breastfeed.
