Doctor
I have a baby. Boy baby. He is just 7 months old. He weighs 8 kgs approx. I'm worried that he is not gained much weight. September month he had a vaccine. During that time he weighed 7.6 kgs only. I feel he did not gain much weight. Is that OK???
7 months completed and 8th month going on now. V have strtd feeding him rice porridge, ragi porridge, apple banana papaya puree also.
Plus he has milk in between during day. Night milk during his sleep.
Is thus weight gain OK?? Shud I have to do something else.
Pls advice

Whatever ur feeding is perfect!
Birth weight doubles at 6 months and triples at 1 yr. 8kgs is definitely fair enough !!
