Baby pudding on its own neither makes baby gain weight nor lose it — what matters is the ingredients and your baby's total daily nutrition.
When starting solids (usually from 6 months), pudding made with rice flour or cornstarch, milk (breast or formula), and sometimes fruit is carbohydrate-heavy. If your baby is getting enough total calories, adding pudding doesn't automatically cause weight gain. What actually supports weight gain: fatty foods (avocado, olive oil, full-fat yogurt), protein (egg yolk, meat, lentils), and frequent breastfeeding or formula feeding.
But if pudding has added sugar, honey, or crackers, you're adding empty calories — that's not healthy weight gain, it's fat gain and dental risk. Also, rice flour pudding daily raises arsenic concerns; mixing in oatmeal, cornstarch, or millet flour is healthier.
Bottom line: pudding doesn't cause weight gain; what does is balanced nutrition with fat and protein. If your baby's weight is tracking their own curve steady, nothing extra is needed.
