A. no.2to 3 time is ok.To increase weight you must add high energy foods like eggs paneer , soya , ghee in rice , khichdi etc.this will boost him ok.See with babies not every thing will go as per rules.each baby has her own speed to learn and that's ok

A. Three times are fine. from now onwards, by this month you can give a little thicker foods by now so the baby can feel differnece in texture. Here are few optiins Breakfast idli, steamed dosa, soaked poha n milk, dalia, kichidi, oats porridge Lunch mashed blended rice with dal rasam curd let sambar be watery, include veggies to rice.. Dinner blended rice with milk, blended chapati with milk, cerlac, idli steamed dosa with milk,During mid day or evening you can give soups easy Chewing veggies fruits. Still milk is the highly nutrients food. Try to feed 3-4 times during the day. And night feeds on demand. Give warm milk before sleep that will make them have a good sleep
