A. that's good, Breastfeeding or formula feeding should continue alongside the solid foods, as they still form an essential part of the infant diet till 1 year. Give vegetables (eg pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, carrot puree) fruits (eg cooked pears/apple, ripe banana) . Moong Daal water, rice kangi. Ragi porridge, rice porridge add few drops of ghee

A. good morning the body structure of the child is not important what is important that the child should be healthy and in this case your baby has a good amount of weight and apart from that you are giving a healthy diet so it is fine
