[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone, I don’t have a group of mom friends so I wanted to make sure DD’s diet is within the normal range in terms of what’s being offered. She hasn’t been weighed for the last 5 months but a friend of mine recently remarked on how thin she is, and she eats much more when offered pouches only (which I’ve done a couple of times as a test) than when it’s a combo of home made stuff and pouches, or just homemade food. Also, I will try hummus - thanks for the suggestion![/quote]

If your baby is truly underweight, I think the solution at 11 months is still supposed to be milk/formula based. Again, NOT AN EXPERT. But from what I understand, babies under 12 months are still supposed to be getting the majority of their calories from breastmilk/formula, and the solid food is mostly exploration/whatever they can get.[/quote]

I would add that if you are concerned that your child is truly underweight, you should get in to the pediatrician before the well visit (unless it’s like next week). But if it’s just that someone said your baby seems skinny, well, some people just think all babies need to be chubby, but really babies come in a spectrum of weights just like adults do. Some will be on the skinny end.  [/quote]
