Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I would like lo know the weight of your child. For an 11 month old child 9 to 10 kg is ideal weight. Usually eating patterns of a child are guided by his appetite. You can give him food five times a day.
Try to give healthy foods like fruits pulses etc.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
I find this answer helpful
