Question: Need baby growth chart and diet chart.
My baby age is 7 months,gender is boy. Weight is approx 7 kg.
My baby age is 7 months,gender is boy. Weight is approx 7 kg.
Brief Answer:
Weight is on lower side - feeding suggestions given
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... the weight of 7 kilos is slightly on the lower side for a 7 month old male baby.
The weight is less than 5th centile and it is lesser than the XXXXXXX Standards. Usually any centile value between 5th and 95th percentile is normal.
Your baby is at 3rd centile.
Coming to his diet now.
At this age you can start giving Cerelac stage one rice or Nestum rice stage 1 etc. All are same in calories and energy. Only thing is palatability which is subjective for each kid.
Other home-made food options will be -
1. Daal and rice well cooked and made into a porridge along with ghee
2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.
3. Any made cereal porridge preparation with additional ghee added.
Remember certain principles like -
1. Add one food material / cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhoea, we will know what to avoid.
2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.
3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhoea.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Brief Answer:
Suggestion on weight of the baby
Detailed Answer:
Hi..... then the previous weight of 7 kilos should have been not correct. For a 7 month 12 days baby 8.1 kilos weight is excellent.
According to XXXXXXX standards any baby who is 1 year old should be weighing between 8 to 10 kilos.
Your baby is already 8.1 kilos by 7 months 12 days.
So this is excellent and normal weight, please do not worry.
