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.
Consult on video for detailed diet chart
