Hi,
Breast feed babies are generally lean but fit due to less fat n more muscle mass as compared to formula feed babies.
Start complementary feed like rava, dalia , khichdi, massed babana n potatoes
Next Steps
3 monthly weight and length measurements

Hi. Reduce breast milk and increase complementary feeds. Give plenty of liquids/water.
If his weight is normal, then nothing to worry
