A. dear mum, do not go by the appearance of your baby. if baby is active, playful and achieving all growth milestones then it indicates good health. For healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. give top food four times a day and up to three fourth Katori every time. add Ghee to every meal. add powdered nuts like almond, peanuts, cashew nuts, walnuts to baby's food. you can give eggs and other non veg food. use full cream top milk to prepare recipes like porridge, kheer and give as milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. continue to breastfeed baby.
