Food for baby
Hi. I am a breast feeding mom.
My baby's birth weight was 3.22kgs. When he was 2.5months he weighed 4.88kgs.
Though his weight is good he looks thin.
How can I make him look fat?
He is 3.5 months old now.
Can I give him apple puree when he completes 4months ?

Firstly as per the recommendation...the baby has to be exclusively breast fed till 6 months of age..Gradual weaning has to be started after that..Dont worry as long as his weight gain and growth are within the normal percentiles..
Next Steps
Regularly visit your paediatrician for weight and length measurements...If they are within the range ; dont worry whether your child appear fat/thin
Health Tips
Please avoid starting weaning food before 6 months of age..Take care
