POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. An 18-month-old baby weighing 8 kg is below the average weight range for that age, as typically toddlers weigh between 10 to 12 kg at 18 months. Although your baby’s birth weight of 3.1 kg was normal, slower weight gain could be due to factors like poor appetite, illness, or nutritional issues.
Since weight is a concern, it’s important to ensure he gets a balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and calories—such as milk, eggs, lentils, paneer, fruits, and vegetables—and regular pediatric check-ups. If he is active and developing well, that’s positive, but I recommend consulting your pediatrician to assess his growth properly and rule out any underlying health concerns.
