A. It can be concerning when an 8-month-old isn’t gaining much weight or showing interest in food. At her age, a weight of 6.5 kg is on the lighter side, but every baby grows at their own pace. Since she was 2.5 kg at birth, she has gained some weight, though slower than average. Try offering nutrient-dense foods like mashed avocado, banana, sweet potato, and rice mixed with lentils or ghee to boost her calories. Also, offer small, frequent meals to encourage her interest in food, and keep meal times relaxed and pressure-free. If her appetite and weight gain don’t improve, consulting a pediatrician or nutritionist could help to rule out any underlying issues and provide guidance on how to best support her growth.
