8.7 kg at 11 months is pretty good and no need to give any milk supplement if the baby is on solids and mothers milk after one year u can introduce cows milk if u want too ...
their is nothing u can do to increase fat at this age ...
on the contrary adults can improves their fat by eating junks and not having any physical activity
