Hi madam,
welcome to health care magic ,
I can certainly understand your concern regarding your baby weight,the actual adequate weight baby is 8 to 10 kgs for 8 month old baby,as she girl baby weight could be somewhat less, but there is nothing to worry about her weight as long as she is healthy

It is not so advisable to prefer foods that is available in the supermarket if you can prepare at home.

I can suggest you some healthy weight gaining foods like eggs, dry fruits ,sweet potatoes butter, bananas ,it's better to prepare baby food with olive oil which is very nutritious and also helps in weight gaining I can assure you not toworry too much about her weight as long as is she is not infectious or sick

Please post your further questions if any . I will always be available to answer them.
Thank you.
