Hello lybrate-user, Thank you for writing to Lybrate. Sometimes babys do not put weight due to various reasons. I suggest the following. Foods like potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, dal, ghee, ragi, almonds, yogurt, eggs and milk help the baby to gain weight. Please take a pediatricians? suggestion before you start any of these foods. As always follow a 3 day test rule.
