8 months old baby not gaining weight
My 8 months old baby has not gained any weight for the last 3 months. When he was 5 months old he was 7.3 kgs, now he is 8 months old he is still 7.45 kgs. His birth weight was 2.78 kgs. He is taking a good amount of 4 solid meals followed by 5-6 breast feeds. He has been super active since early, but now he stopped gaining weight. I don't know what to do.
