A. weigth should triple the birth weight by 1 year of age Weight gain depeens upon birth weight and maturity of the baby if the baby is active and feeding adequately don't worry about it give milk shake with dry fruit powder for weight gain get deworming done and give iron supplements

A. Hi mom By one year the weight should be anywhere between 9-11 kgs. Also if your baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much. give all that you cook for ur family. Include egg,ghee,dry fruits,dairy products like paneer curd cheese,banana shake potatoes rice avocado ragi chicken etc in ur baby diet for weight gain
