POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. If your baby is not gaining weight, it's important to first observe if they are feeding well and getting enough nutrition. For infants, ensure they are breastfeeding or formula feeding adequately, as recommended by your pediatrician. If you are breastfeeding, check if the baby is latching properly and feeding long enough. For babies on formula, ensure you're preparing it correctly and that it's age-appropriate. Additionally, you can try offering smaller, more frequent feedings to increase calorie intake.
If your baby is older and eating solids, offer a variety of nutrient-dense foods like full-fat dairy, avocados, bananas, and homemade purees. If the lack of weight gain continues despite these efforts, consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical conditions such as feeding difficulties, gastrointestinal issues, or metabolic problems. The doctor might suggest a proper feeding schedule or even refer to a specialist if needed. Regular weight checks will help assess whether the baby is on track for growth.
