Answer

You're absolutely right to be attentive, and it’s good that you’re monitoring your baby’s growth closely. Let's look at your baby's weight in context:

📊 Baby’s Weight Growth Overview Birth weight: 2.7 kg Current weight (almost 9 months): 6.4 kg Expected weight at 9 months: Roughly 8–8.5 kg for average babies (though this can vary).

👉 Your baby has gained 3.7 kg in 9 months — which is a bit below average, but not alarming if:

The baby is active, alert, and reaching milestones (like standing with support and crawling). There are no signs of weakness, repeated infections, or feeding issues. ✅ What’s Good Very active: Crawling and standing early is a great sign of neuromuscular development. Birth weight was low (2.7 kg), so weight gain should also be considered from that baseline. Your baby may be a high-energy burner — active babies often burn more calories. 🍚 What You Can Do:

Feed calorie-dense, nutrient-rich foods, 3–4 times a day:

Ghee-added khichdi Mashed potato with butter Moong dal, curd rice, boiled egg yolk Banana, avocado, suji kheer, ragi porridge

Continue breastfeeding/formula 3–5 times/day

Avoid overactivity during feeding – Try feeding in a calm, distraction-free place

Track weight monthly – Use the same scale and weigh at the same time of day

🚨 When to see the doctor: If weight gain stalls or drops If baby is not interested in eating or feeding If infections or loose motions are frequent If weight stays below the 3rd percentile on growth chart consistently
