Baby not gaining weight
My 9 month old baby is not gaining weight since last 2 months. His birth weight was 2kg 700 gms. His present weight is 7 kg 700 gms. He is active and playful. He sometimes refuses to eat solids. How much solid should I give him in a day? Should I be worried about his weight?

As per average standard baby s weight is more than enough for his age.
If the child actually hasn't gained even 100 gram weight in last 2 months u need to see a pediatrician immediately.
If he s active and playfull then I think u need not worry.
Solid food needs to be given normally not ina fixed amount but in all meals some solids shud be included so he learns to chew.
