Child's weight gain

2018-09-25 12:16:39
Hello Dr.. my son is 13 months old. His birth weight was 2.75. During his first 6 months of breast feeding he gained a very gud weight Nd he was looking very chubby. At his 6th month he touched 8.2 kgs.. but I don't know wat happened after tat his weight gaining process is very low. He is now around 9.3kgs only. I give him dhal, rice, idly, banana, steamed apple Nd all. He is refusing to eat nowadays Nd he is looking very thin. As a mother I'm really worried about dis. Looking his old photos make me feel very bad. Plz suggest me how to gain weight for him. Thanks

It is normal for breast feeding babies to look chubby. Now also his weight is above the normal. You are subjectively feeling he is thin. Weight gain slows down from late infancy. First year gain is 6-7kg but 2nd year only 2-3 kg..this is normal.
