Hey everyone just a quick question regarding baby weight gain. Once baby starts on solids/ weaned does it help them gain weight? My baby is 4 months and has lost abit of weight. Im really concerned and really want her to gain weight. I am current formula feeding.
Has anyone noticed a difference in weight once baby is weaned?

Actually quite the opposite; milk is much more fatty than solids, at least those that babies can tolerate when they start the weaning process. The recommendation is to always supplement with milk, however if they are full with solids they will not consume as much milk and if you offer the milk before solids then they will not eat the solids 😔. It is a hard process. We noticed a slow down of gain weight especially when our little one started crawling but not weight loss. It would be better if you check with the paediatrician because of the weight loss in my opinion
