A. Dear mum, weight of 7.1 kg is a normal weight for 8 months old baby, also considering that your baby’s birth weight was 2.3 kg. For healthy weight gain, give a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. You should give milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. Add ghee to every meal and squeeze lemon wherever possible. Add powdered nuts like almonds to baby’s food. You can give eggs and non veg foods.
