POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. Your 10-month-old daughter weighs 7.4 kg and is 70 cm tall. While her weight gain of 200 grams per month is on the lower side, it is still within an acceptable range if she is active and meeting her developmental milestones.
How to Support Better Weight Gain:
✅ Increase Nutrient-Dense Foods – Offer high-calorie, high-nutrient foods like:
Dairy – Full-fat curd, cheese, paneer, ghee Protein – Moong dal, chana dal, chicken puree, egg yolk (if doctor approves) Healthy fats – Mashed avocado, nut powders (almond, walnut), coconut milk Fruits & Vegetables – Banana, mango, sweet potato, pumpkin Grains – Ragi, suji, oats, khichdi with ghee
✅ Increase Meal Frequency & Portions – Aim for 3 solid meals + 2 snacks + breast milk/formula daily.
✅ Offer Energy-Dense Snacks – Homemade laddoos (ragi or besan), dry fruit powder mixed in porridge, peanut butter on banana slices.
✅ Encourage More Finger Foods – Let her explore and eat soft foods like steamed vegetables, cheese cubes, and fruit slices to increase intake.
✅ Monitor Feeding Patterns – If she refuses food frequently, try offering smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions at once.
When to Consult a Doctor: If she continues to gain very little weight despite good nutrition. If she has frequent infections, poor appetite, or signs of weakness.
Keep tracking her weight and growth. If she is active, playful, and achieving milestones, slight slow weight gain may not be a concern.
