#asktheexperts hello mam, my baby is 11 months old and his weight is 7 kg  how to gain weight please advise.

Accepted Answer

At 11 months, a weight of 7 kg is below average, so focus on offering nutrient-rich, high-calorie foods in small, frequent meals. Include foods like mashed banana, avocado, potato, sweet potato, ghee, homemade khichdi with dal and veggies, paneer, egg yolk (if no allergy), and full-fat curd. Breastfeeding or formula milk should continue 3–4 times a day. Add a few drops of ghee or oil to cooked foods for extra calories. Avoid junk foods, but ensure variety and soft textures. If weight gain remains slow, consult your pediatrician to rule out underlying health or digestion issues.
