Is it possible for my 9 month old kid to loose 500mg of weight in 1 month. She weighed arround 8.2 kgs one month back now she is 7.5 kg. She is active in all aspects crawls, giggles, baby talks, but is very fussy about eating. We struggle to make her feed. Hence we are worried. She passes stool almost everyday and urination is fine. Is this loss of weight normal.

Loosing weight is mismatch between intake and energy expenditure. Dont force feed. Give child food she enjoys first. Give iron supplements.

Check the weight/ weighing scale again. It might be faulty. Check weight on the same scale. If child suffered some illness, he may have lost but otherwise unlikely.
