Weight of 9 months old Boy
My son is 9 months old and his weight is 6.8Kg. His weight at the time of birth was 2.3Kg. His primary source of food is mother's feed and 2 scoop of Formula once a day. Other than this he eats regular fruits and grains in small servings. All his activities look like normal child.
Should I be concerned about his weight or its normal?

Children double weight by 5 months and triple by 1 year.. So in that regard, the child is on track.
Other parameters such as length and head circumference assist need to be taken for accurate assessment.
Keep giving a variety of foods minus salt and sugar and slowly give family pot by one year.
