No, I don't recommend cow milk.
You have described that weight is constant for 3 4 months, which is a cause of concern
Yes, it is. And needs to be investigated.
Are you giving sufficient solid food to the baby after 6 months of age? Most common reason is not giving food.
Does he suffer from any disease.
Consult a pediatrician for full body check up and if required lab tests.

Hi,
Cows/ buffalo milk after 1 year of age only
Next Steps
Milk won’t increase the weight. 9 kgs is adequate weight for a 8 month old.
