What should I do to help my 10-month-old gain weight?

Weight gain typically slows in 10-month-olds, which is a normal part of the growth curve. First, check: Is your baby following their own curve steadily? Is he energetic? Does he have 4-6 wet diapers daily and seem content? Is the doctor satisfied at checkups? If yes on all counts, no extra help is needed.
To support weight gain:
- Feed breast milk or formula after (not before) solid meals — getting high-calorie milk while solid food is secondary.
- Add 1 teaspoon of olive or butter oil to vegetable purees, soups, or pasta.
- Serve egg yolk, avocado, full-fat yogurt, ground meat, and lentils frequently — these are protein/fat dense.
- Offer 2-3 main meals plus 1-2 healthy snacks between (banana, cheese pieces).
- Eat meals together at the table — social eating often boosts appetite.
If your baby seems uninterested in food, seems weak, has stopped gaining weight, or dropped below 10% on the growth curve, see a pediatrician or child nutritionist. Iron deficiency, reflux, food allergy, or other medical issues may need investigation.
