A. Hello mom check his weight as per his birth certificate they triple by one year of age and then yearly gain Is between the range of 2 to 4 kgs. Now their are no restrictions as such he can be given regular foods made at home for the family now , so dry fruits and nuts , whole eggs , lentils and legumes such as sprouts , chana , rajma etc whole milk , panner , ghee , cereals and millets, fruits and vegetables which are locally available

A. Dear mum, weight of 8.5 kg is a normal weight for 1 year old baby, do not worry. For healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. At least 500 ml of milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add powdered nuts like almonds, walnuts to baby’s foods. Add ghee baby’s food. Continue to breastfeed till 2 years.
