Hi,

My Baby is 6 month old and he is around 16 pounds.
When i take him out everybody say he is very tiny.
He drank breast milk only 1 month , even that also i had to pump and give it to him.
He never liked to have milk from breast.
Even we consulted Lactation consultant also but all in vain.
Now he is on Similac Milk and has started eating 2nd food from Gerber.

Please advise me how to make my baby a little more healthy.

Thanks

What does the doctor say? Does he say he is a good size? What are his percentiles? He sounds like a good size to me. I wouldn’t worry about what other people say and focus on what his percentiles are.

We have to visit the doctor on 28th Jan for his 6th month vacination ,
His percentli is around 10%.

I would check with the doctor and get his advice. My son has always been small. When his percentiles dropped too low, they put him on pediasure. He quickly caught up and now is a good size. The doctor will tell you if there is any reason to be concerned and what to do.
Just make sure you are feeding him often and start offering him a good variety of foods.

Thanks for your reply.

I am giving him now variety of food, homemade as well as the readymade.
I hope he gets better.

Thanks
