Answer: Dear 9 months babys weight should be 7-10 kgs. So your babys weight is completely normal. But for more weight gain you can start with sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, and apple. You can boil and mash these fruits properly before giving to your baby.Apart from this try to feed different porridge like Rice, Ragi, Moong or Roasted gram. You can give  Khichdi,  massed paneer , custard and yogurt. These are healthy and nutritious and help in putting on weight and strengthening the body from within.
