Definitely at this age baby doesn't feel hungry and call for food like adult. And yes weight is also low for this age.Its preferably to feed regularly instead of wait for call for feed.Its better to give regular 6 to 8 times small feeds of different taste and colour compare to heavy feeds for 3 or 4 times. Try to give food with maximum calories in least possible quantity.
