You have not mentioned the current height of the baby. and according to me 9.25kg with 16 months, is a good weight. But a mother by her very nature always feels that her child is not taking proper nutrition or needs more to eat. Her senses, and her mind is always satisfied if even the baby takes one more bolus of food.
So please make sure that you don't overfeed her, to satisfy your senses
Next Steps
Give her 1ml lime juice +you can buy : Appetize by Atrimed pharma online.
