#asktheexpert my baby vl turn 1year for this April 21 and her weight is juz 6.8 is it normal

A. For a one-year-old baby, the average weight typically ranges between 8 to 12 kg, depending on birth weight, genetics, and overall health. At 6.8 kg, your baby is on the lower side of the growth chart, which might indicate underweight but is not necessarily a serious concern if she is active, eating well, and meeting developmental milestones. To support healthy weight gain, offer calorie-dense, nutritious foods like mashed banana, ghee-added dal khichdi, paneer, avocado, dry fruit powder in porridge, and full-fat yogurt. Encourage frequent small meals and ensure she is not filling up on liquids like milk alone. If she is not gaining weight despite a good diet or has other health concerns, consult a pediatrician to rule out underlying issues like digestion problems or nutrient deficiencies.
