POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. Thanks for sharing!
Let’s look at it carefully:
Birth weight: 2.4 kg (which is on the lower side, but fine for many babies) At 10 months: 6.1 kg Baby is very active: (This is a very good sign!)
Now:
Normally, by 5 months, babies double their birth weight, and by 1 year, they usually triple it.
For your baby:
2.4 kg × 3 = 7.2 kg (expected by 12 months approx.)
Right now at 10 months, your baby is 6.1 kg — slightly less than expected, but since your baby is very active, playful, and meeting milestones, it's usually not a big worry.
Important things to check:
Is the baby eating solids 2–3 times a day? Drinking breast milk/formula properly? Growing in height and being active? No repeated serious illnesses?
If all these are good, activity and growth matter more than just weight.
What you can do:
Offer high-calorie foods like mashed banana, sweet potato, ghee-mixed khichdi, curd, paneer, and boiled eggs (if non-vegetarian). Feed small frequent meals. Add a little healthy fat (like 2–3 drops of ghee or butter) to her meals. Encourage hand-eating to make meals fun.
In short:
Your baby is slightly underweight but active, which is mostly okay.
Focus on good nutrition, and in a few months, weight will catch up.
Would you like me to send you a simple sample meal plan for 10-month-old babies to help with healthy weight gain?
It’ll be easy and homemade!
