My 7-month-old baby's weighs like 5 months. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a girl baby. She has completed seven months. Actually, my baby problem is weight. She has 15.43 lbs now but she looks like five months baby structure like weightless. If anyone of them take my baby they ask (why baby like weightless and look like five months) but she eats well and breastfeeding is also well and more very active girl but the main problem is she looks like weightless. So I need a reason for weightless structure.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A baby gains to be double the birth weight by six months of age and triple the birth weight by one year of age. The weight of your baby seems to be fine to me. Continue to breastfeed, give adequate complementary feed in the form of cereals, pulses, fruits, other protein sources palatable for a baby. No need to worry, let the baby grow naturally.
