Baby not gaining weight for 2 months
My baby just completed 11 months today. When she was born she weighed 2.5 kg for 7 months she constantly gained weight of 600g per month. After that for 2 months 300g each month. After that she is not gaining any weight. Her weight is around 7.3 kg but she is fully active. Please help me diagnose her condition.

Usually baby weight 30grams per day for 3 months then 20 grams per day for 3 to 6 months ,then 6 to 9 months 15 grams per day,thenn12 grams per for 9 to 12 months .Grossly speaking by 6 th months baby will double the weight and by the end of one year triple.so need to worry nicely start the complimentary feeding ,then baby will gain automatically.

Its nothing, as baby’s height is also growing so weight can be reduced, just focus on complementary feed, to gain weight as at 1 yrs of age weight should be 9-11 kg, so just focus on giving homemade foods, if child is active, alert, not getting sick, or no other abnormality detected then no worries, just focus on diet and do weight monitoring
Next Steps
Physical consultation is better for weight and height and plotting on growth charts, its better to do monitoring on growth charts, so any other abnormality could find out
