11 month old underweight!!!
So when I took my baby to the doc when he was 9 months for a checkup, he was 7.6 kg (9th percentile). Now he is 11 months and when I weigh him he is around 8.2 kg. I'm not sure what percentile he is now. He was sick for a week and was eating very little, but now he's back on 3 good meals and 2 snacks. I also breastfeed 6x per 24 hour period. I'm not sure what else I can do to get him to gain weight. He's a very active baby, seems very content. He's not sleeping well at night another issue. My main concern is his weight. My mother in law sometimes forces him to eat more, I know he's full cause he spits the food out but MIL keeps adding more to his mouth. Sometimes he pukes. She even suggested I give him multi vitamin drops. Should I take him to the doc now for another checkup? I'm not sure what the doc will do cause he was underweight at 6 months and again at 9 months and all he told me was to reduce breastfeeding and give him more food. His next appt is in another month, should I just wait? I don't know what to do, I try to give him a variety of food, I also add more carbs to his diet. Any advice is appreciated.
