Question
My 61/2 months girl baby is being brestfed. She also takes semisolid foods
three times a day and also some boiled vegetables and one small
banana. But she is just 6.7 kg in weight. How to increase her weight.
Please give me a suggestion.

Answer
Breastfeed her as much as she will let you. Breastmilk has the highest calories. AS long as she is developmentally where she needs to be you don't need to be worried. If you are worried your doctor should be able to give you more of a clear picture if something is going on. She might just be a small child. That is ok too. Being small isnt a concern. Stopping growing might be. That doesn't mean it is breastmilk issue though.

I hope that helped!
