A. dear mum, if your baby has doubled the birth weight by 6 months and triple the birth weight by 1 year then do not worry. more importantly child should gain weight and not lose weight. if baby is achieving all milestones and is active then do not worry. breast milk is a major source of Nutrition till 1 year. let child discover different texture, flavour of food, let him regulate the quantity of food.
