A. At 6.5 months old, a weight of 5.9 kg can be on the lower side, depending on your baby's birth weight and growth pattern. It's important to assess her overall development and health, as babies vary widely in weight. However, if you feel she may need to gain weight, it's crucial to focus on introducing solid foods along with breast milk or formula to ensure adequate nutrition. Here are some foods you can start introducing: Mashed Fruits: Soft fruits like banana, apple, or pear can be mashed and offered. Vegetables: Pureed vegetables like sweet potato, carrot, or pumpkin are great options. Rice Cereal or Oats: You can prepare rice cereal or oatmeal mixed with breast milk/formula. Lentils/Khichdi: Well-cooked, mashed lentils or khichdi (rice and dal) can be given. Yogurt: You can introduce plain, unsweetened yogurt for extra protein and calcium. Try to give small, frequent meals and ensure she continues breastfeeding or formula feeding for proper hydration and nutrition. If you're concerned about her weight, it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice. You're doing great, and asking questions is a great way to care for your baby!
