Overweight baby
Hi doctor,
My baby boy is 6 and a half months old and his weight is around 9.9 kg.
He is achieving his monthly milestones without any issue.
I'm really worried about his weight gain. Is there anything I can do? Already started solid food 4 times a day.
Will his weight get reduced as he grows up? Please suggest.

Usually exclusively breast fed babies gain weight based on their birth weight... Usually the weight gain is going to change after 6 months
