Question

My daughter will turn 6months old on 27th April inshaAllah. She is currently 8.5kgs n 66cm. She\'s overall fine, meeting her milestones. She sits n eats apple, banana purees n cerelac. 
She is taking meiji fmt since birth.
Birth weight 2.8 kgs 
She can sit without support. 
I\'m worried about her weight. She\'s exclusively formula fed. This formula is making her gain weight.
Kindly suggest any other formula or is this weight normal for a 6month baby girl? 
I dont want her to become obese.
I\'m highly concerned n worried. 
Please help.

thankyou for your concern. i am very happy to see that you, as a mother has performed really well in taking care of your child. your baby is perfectly fine. all formulas are similar, you can continue the same brand or you can shift to similac or enfamel but that wont actually make a difference. so i would suggest to continue the Meiji FU 2 as the age is above 6 months know and keep your focus on solid feeds. thumbs up for your effeorts.
