If your baby isn’t gaining weight after 6 months despite drinking enough milk, see a pediatrician to check their growth chart and rule out any other health issues.
After 6 months, the rate of weight increase normally slows down, and the baby may lose weight after weaning begins. But don’t worry, your baby will catch up eventually!
Add ghee, cheese, paneer, and boiled potatoes to your baby’s daily meal to make it more calorie-rich.
If your baby had some recent illness like fever, diarrhea, etc, then your baby is likely to lose weight. in such situations, feed one extra meal as compared to regular days for 2 weeks after the baby recovers from the illness. This is to ensure the weight gain lost during illness is regained.
If the infant is healthy and active but not gaining enough weight, do not worry about it. Ensure that your child has access to fresh, handmade, healthy food always.
