Due to the more movement and activity of the child, the weight gain will be slow.
You can give small frequent meals.
Follow specific meal plans to help your child receive a well rounded nutritious meal.
By 1 year, child should be on the family pot (witt less or no salt and sugar).
For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me.
