A. dear mum, weight of 9 kg is absolutely normal for 16 months old baby boy. baby's weight at this age should be in the range of 8.4 kg to 13.1 kg. do not go by appearance of your baby. if baby is active, playful, achieving all growth milestones then it indicates good health. For healthy weight gain good protein like pulses, beans, eggs, soya , milk and Milk products, chicken. variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables and green leafy vegetables. Nuts like almonds. add ghee on top of food to provide energy.
