Is it normal for a 1 year 4 months baby to be 15 Kgs? I am worried. He was born 3.9 Kgs through Cesarean method. Please advise on what to give or not to give.

Though your son is on the higher percentile of his growth chart, it is important to establish good eating habits from now on to enable him maintain a healthy weight. Do consult with your health provider but also ensure that you are not only feeding him on starch but on a variety of proteins like meat and meat alternatives like lentils, and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that are good for boosting his metabolism.
