A. hi...babies should double their birth weight by the time they are five months old and triple their birth weight by the time they are one year old. Babies generally gain 400 to 500 grams of weight per month after birth. So your babies weight is normal. At eight months of age, your baby can start making a switch from mashed vegetable puree to small cubes of steamed vegetables. Add the veggies to khichdi or make a steamed vegetable bowl. You can slowly introduce vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, green peas, and pumpkin into his diet.
