Brief Answer: Present weight is erfectly okay Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX By age of 1 year the birth weight should tripple that is 2.6kg * 3 = 7.8kg . So weight of 8.57 kg at 11 months is perfectly okay and there seems to be no cause for concern. Babies are usually fussy and vomit out some of the food which they don't like. If the weight gain is adequate, baby is sleeping well after feeds and urine output is adequate then there seems to be no cause for concern. Keep trying new things experimenting with the taste buds of your little one. There is absolutely no cause for concern. I would also suggest you to continue Motinorm for a week. Do write to me if you need any further assistance. Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life. Take Care Best Regards Deepak
