Frequent passage of stools in an 8-month-old baby along with poor weight gain needs proper evaluation. Continue breastfeeding and ensure adequate complementary feeding. The baby's meals should be prepared separately from the rest of the family and should be more calorie-dense, with the addition of ghee, butter, oil, curd, khichdi, mashed potato, banana, egg (if taken), and other nutrient-rich foods appropriate for age. Please let me know what type of milk the baby is receiving (breast milk, formula milk, cow's milk, or mixed feeding), as this may help identify the cause of poor weight gain and frequent stools.

Is the baby breast fed or formula? Milk intake should be 500 to 900 ml per day and 3 times solid semisolid food. Iron can be given 2 weeks after recovery from illness.

An 8-month-old baby should normally continue gaining weight. Weight falling from 7.2 kg to 6.6 kg after a diarrheal illness and then remaining almost static for 2 months is concerning and needs reassessment. Passing stools 7–8 times daily, especially if loose, may contribute to poor weight gain. The most important step is a detailed evaluation of feeding, complementary diet intake, growth chart, and possible causes of persistent diarrhea or malabsorption. Iron supplementation is important after 6 months if dietary iron intake is inadequate, but iron deficiency alone is unlikely to explain the poor weight gain.

Do once cbc so as per hb level we can start

Do Deworming first if not done after baby completd 6 months of age.And visit doctor for proper guidance or consult here on Practo for details history of baby and further guidance.Iron drops may work but just small history of patient without seeing not recommended.Please visit nearby good Pediatrician or do consult here on Practo.

Consult with Pediatrician physically for further evaluation and treatment

Greetings 8-month-old baby normally continues to gain weight; however, a drop from 7.2 kg to 6.6 kg after a diarrheal illness followed by static weight for 2 months is deeply concerning and requires immediate clinical reassessment, as passing loose stools 7 to 8 times daily significantly contributes to poor growth by impeding proper nutrient absorption, thereby highlighting the critical need for a comprehensive evaluation that meticulously examines the child's feeding patterns, complementary diet intake, and official growth chart trajectories while actively investigating underlying causes of persistent diarrhea or malabsorption, and although introducing targeted iron supplementation remains vital after 6 months of age if their dietary intake proves insufficient, addressing iron deficiency alone is highly unlikely to resolve or fully explain this severe stagnation in weight gain.

Yes definitely there is weight loss. And you need to give Iron drops. I will give your iron drops called Trifer drops give 0.5ml daily ok empty stomach for 2months
