Hi htere
11 months old with 8 kgs wt is not bad though it is on lower levels.
What type of food you are giving and when you started giving weaning food??
Breast feeding is good and try to continue till 2 years of age if you can.
Make a proper schedule of breast feeding alternating with food . At this age he will require 4 to 5 times of breast feeding + 3 to 4 times of solid food. Don't force him for food, rather let him enjoy it , let him play with it, find out his taste and prepare accordingly.
Take care , all the best
