We consider a good weight gain as twice of birth weight at five months of age and three times at 1 year of age,so you can assess your baby's weight gain.
At this age,give just 2 milk feeds including one top milk feed using a spoon and katori and 4 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in the diet in addition to whatever you prepare at home.
Ensure strict hygiene in preparation and giving of top milk feeds and solid meals too.
