A. dear mum, considering that your baby was born preterm, weight of 6.5 kg is fine for 8 months old baby. do not go by the appearance. if baby is active, playful, achieving all growth milestones, passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours then it indicates good health. for healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. give top food 3 times a day and up to half Katori every time. add Ghee to every meal. add powdered nuts like almond, peanuts, cashew nuts, walnuts to baby's food. you can give eggs and other non veg food. use full cream top milk to prepare recipes like porridge, kheer and give as milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. continue to breastfeed baby.
