How to increase baby's weight on solids (purees)

@Flo thank you 😊 she can keep eating so I stop her. She's a tall lean baby and health visitor thinks she's like me (my body type) so not concerned however wanted to re weigh her.
They get more from their milk so I’d cut back on purées make sure she’s getting milk before food if you’re not already doing that just an idea maybe, however I wouldn’t worry too much weight is always up and down with teething/growth spurts etc xx
If they're following their centile you don't need to up their food or milk. Trying to overfeed/up feeds your baby will likely result in vomiting and also if they suddenly jump centiles all of a sudden they may question you overfeeding them and go through all the negatives of it.
Thank you ladies didn't think of that perspective. Just wanted a chubby bubba. Thanks for all your msgs
If she's following her centile I wouldn't worry just as some adults are bigger than others so are some kids it's probably perfectly normal for her. Just make sure you offer plenty of food until she seems full. If you had reason to worry about her weight you can always add more fat to meals, butter, olive oil, eggs for more protein etc
