A. At 6 months, a baby weighing 4.5 kg is on the lower side of the growth chart, and it's important to focus on improving their nutrition and overall health. If you're breastfeeding, ensure that your baby is feeding frequently and for adequate durations. If you're introducing solids, start with iron-fortified cereals, pureed vegetables, fruits, and soft proteins like mashed lentils or chicken, and increase their calorie intake. You can also consider adding healthy fats to the diet, such as avocado or ghee, which can provide extra calories. It's important to ensure your baby is feeding well and not having any issues with digestion or absorption. If the weight gain remains slow or if you have concerns, it's advisable to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying health issues and to get personalized guidance.
