Which milk is good for weight gain
Hi,
My baby is 7 month old. His weight is 9kg aprx..birth weight 3kg
My doctor suggested me to give amul toned packet milk... earlier I was giving Lactogen formula milk from birth and also breastmilk ....my baby is not gaining weight from last two months with formula milk...his weight is stable ... I have heard that Amul Toned packed milk is not BPA free ...it's plastic packet is very harmful...
Then which milk should I give to my baby? I can't afford formula milk... Should I give buffalo milk diluted with water... He is also on semisolid like daals, apple banana puree and mashed potato...carrot beetroot puree... What should I add to increase weight . ?

For the given birth weight of your child, his weight is adequate at 7months age.
You should continue breastfeeding along with complementary feeds like the semi solids you mentioned.
