Low weight
Dear Dr.
My baby will turned to 6month on 10th June. His current weight is 5.30kg and his birth weight was 3.06 it should be more than double if am not wrong. He sleeps well in the night but day time he hardly sleeps an hour each 4-5 times after nursing. He drink 1ltr formula milk per day plus two to three time breastfed. Also from last 15-20 days I introduced semi solids like mung dal khichadi, banana or apple or mango pulp still weight gain is not satisfactory. Please suggest what went wrong. Thanks in advance

You should reduce formulae milk and add more variety of foods at intervals of 6-7days because there should be some time develop taste for one food at once.
