8 kg weight is less for a 14 month old child. You should reduce the frequency of breast feeding and increase ghee fortified complementary feeds . The gum issue I feel that she might be teething but I need to get a closer look. Please consult your Pediatrician for detailed advice on complementary feeding and the gum issue.
