A. the weight you have shared is low considering the baby's age. for 17 months old baby offer atleast 2 meals and 1 snacks thought the day along with breastfeeding . also avoid giving cow's milk to the baby. if the baby isn't taking breast milk then thr primary reason could be low supply. work on boosting your milk supply. Increase protein in your diet and include papaya, oats , garlic etc. I had similar issues too and I couldn't get my breast milk supply back due to weakness. doctor suggested us to start with Aptamil Gold stage 3 for my baby. he eats all the meal and takes 2 serving of Aptamil Gold formula. I am glad that he is achieving all the growth milestones on time
