POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. To increase your 8-month-old baby’s weight, focus on giving nutrient-rich, high-calorie foods in small, frequent meals along with continued breast milk or formula. Some good options include:
Mashed banana, avocado, or sweet potato – rich in healthy fats and energy. Moong dal khichdi with ghee – soft and nutritious. Suji or ragi porridge – made with formula or water, and a bit of ghee. Boiled egg yolk (if pediatrician allows) – a great source of protein and fat. Full-fat curd or homemade paneer – good for digestion and weight gain. Mashed potato with butter, rice with dal, or soft idli.
Offer 2–3 solid meals daily and increase gradually. Avoid junk foods or sugar. Track weight monthly and consult a pediatrician if weight gain is very slow or the baby is not active.
