Weight gain
Hello Doctor,
My baby girl is 7 plus months old and she is 5.75 kg last month also her weight was same. She has not gained single gm from last month. She eats on time and have milk ( Formula) also time to time. She is very active baby. She crawls and stands with support and walks with support ( couch or table). She is never still always moving around. So doctors say that because she burns calories and that is why she is not gaining weight and there is no problem.
But as a mother I am worried. Could you please suggest what should I do for her weight gain or is it normal?
Thanks

It would be advisable to start complementary feeding in the form of home made foods and gradually wean her off formula milk.
Kichidi, ragi ganji, fruits etc can be started. Speak to your pediatrician who will guide you further. Continue breastfeeding upto 2 years and beyond.
