Brief Answer:
Start multivitamin drops and take care of dietary advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Weight at 8 month of age should be around 7.5 kg.

You can start a multivitamin drops like A to Z drops, visyneral Z Drops 1 ml once a day for 6 months.

However, for weight gain the main thing is food. You should continue breastfeeding, give top milk two times a day, one meal like oats, rice dal, paranthas and 1 ceralac meal.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
