Asking for Self, Female, 30 years old, Lahore

My baby is 6.5 months MashALLAH. She weighs about 7.1kg. Is she underweight? I have started weaning and give her sooji, porridge, rice, custard, banana, potato, apple and carrots. She is on motherfeed and takes a single bottle 3 ounce per day . Everyone says that she looks underweight and she should be taking more formula milk. Please guide

Weight of 7.1 kg at 6.5 months of age is a good weight. She is not underweight.
With such a wide array of weaning food she may run into feeding problems. She should still be getting three to four milk feeds with two or max three solid feeds.
good luck...
