POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. I understand your concern about your 9-month-old baby's slow weight gain. At 7 kg, she is on the lower side of the growth chart, but it's important to check if she is active, reaching milestones, and eating well. Some babies naturally have a slower growth pattern, especially if they were born with a lower birth weight or have a high metabolism.
To help with weight gain, try offering high-calorie, nutritious foods like ghee-mixed dal khichdi, mashed banana, avocado, boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, ragi porridge, and full-fat yogurt. Ensure she gets frequent small meals, breast milk or formula, and plenty of hydration. If her weight gain remains slow despite good nutrition, consult a pediatrician to rule out underlying health concerns like digestion issues or nutrient absorption problems. Keep an eye on her activity level and overall health, as these are more important than just weight.
