POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. To help your 9-month-old baby gain healthy weight, focus on nutrient-rich and calorie-dense foods that are easy to digest and age-appropriate. Here are some good options:
🥣 Weight-Gaining Foods for a 9-Month-Old Baby: Breast milk or formula – Still a primary source of nutrition and calories. Ghee or butter – Add a small amount to khichdi, dal, or mashed veggies for healthy fats. Banana – High in calories and easy to digest. Potato and sweet potato – Rich in carbs and energy. Full-fat curd/yogurt – Great for digestion and weight gain. Moong dal khichdi or dal with rice – Easy to eat and packed with protein and carbs. Mashed egg yolk (if already introduced and no allergy) Suji halwa or ragi porridge – Add ghee for extra calories. Paneer (homemade cottage cheese) – Soft and high in protein and fat. Avocado – Loaded with healthy fats (can mash or mix with fruit). 🕐 Feeding Tips: Offer 3 solid meals + 2 healthy snacks + breast/formula feeds. Be patient and consistent, offering small amounts several times a day. Avoid junk, sugar, or processed foods.
If weight gain is still a concern, track her growth and discuss it with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
