A. Dear parent, weight of 5.8 kg is slightly on the lower side for 8 months old baby, but if baby is active, playful and achieving all growth milestones, passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours then do not worry. For healthy weight gain and growth, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. Continue to breastfeed and give milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add powdered nuts like almonds to baby’s food. Add ghee to every meal. Give 3 meals a day and up to half katori every time.
