A. It's normal to worry about your baby's weight, but it's also important to remember that every baby grows at their own pace. To support healthy weight gain for your 7-month-old, you can try the following: 1. Breastmilk or Formula Ensure your baby continues to have regular feeds of breastmilk or formula, as these remain the primary sources of nutrition until one year. Offer frequent feeds, especially if your baby seems hungry more often. 2. High-Calorie Solid Foods Introduce energy-dense and nutritious foods to complement breastmilk or formula: Fruits: Banana, avocado, and mashed mango are calorie-rich and easy to digest. Vegetables: Sweet potato, carrot, and pumpkin purees are great for weight gain. Grains: Rice cereal, ragi (finger millet), or oatmeal made with breastmilk/formula. Protein: Mashed lentils (dal), boiled and mashed egg yolk (if no allergies), or yogurt (full-fat and plain). Healthy Fats: Add a few drops of ghee (clarified butter) or butter to your baby's meals. 3. Feeding Tips Small, Frequent Meals: Offer 2-3 solid meals and 1-2 snacks daily, depending on your baby's appetite. Gradual Increase: Start with small portions and gradually increase the quantity as your baby gets used to solids. Texture: Ensure the food is smooth and easy for your baby to swallow. 4. Monitor Development If your baby is active, achieving milestones, and has regular wet diapers, they are likely growing well, even if they seem lean. 5. Pediatric Consultation If you're still concerned about your baby's weight, consult your pediatrician. They may suggest a growth assessment and offer advice tailored to your baby's needs.
