A. Hi.. weight is quite good...if your baby is active, playful, achiving all milestones at time and taking feed normally than don't worry for weight.. at this stage teething also occurs...which causes anorexia..and weight gaining rate get slower... minimum 300 grams weight should be gain in a month.. as baby start activity like sitting, rolling, crawling, standing.. their most of the calories consume in it...give 3-4 solid feeds a day, along with bm/fm. add ghee in his food Maintain proper hygein.
