Question

Accepted Answer

At 9 months and 3 weeks, a weight of 8.11 kg is within a normal range, especially if your baby was born with an average birth weight. But if she's not eating well and you're worried about her weight gain, here are some tips that might help:

1. Offer Energy-Dense Foods:

Make each bite count. Choose foods rich in healthy fats, protein, and calories:

Mashed banana with ghee Moong dal khichdi with ghee Potato or sweet potato mash with a little butter Full-fat curd or paneer Ragi porridge with jaggery and ghee 2. Frequent, Small Meals:

Offer small portions 5–6 times a day. Don't wait for hunger signs—babies sometimes don’t show interest even when hungry.

3. Continue Breastfeeding or Formula:

Milk still provides essential nutrition. Continue breastfeeding or formula feeds 3–4 times daily.

4. Try Finger Foods:

Some babies prefer feeding themselves. Offer soft finger foods:

Steamed carrot or sweet potato sticks Soft fruits like ripe mango, banana, or pear Diced boiled egg yolk 5. Avoid Force-Feeding:

Make mealtime fun. Sing songs, talk to her, or eat along with her.

6. Check for Underlying Issues:

If appetite is consistently low or she has signs of deficiency (pale skin, frequent infections), it’s good to consult a pediatrician. They might check for:

Iron deficiency Worms Gut infections
