thanx for posting query.
first of all let me tell you growth of e. coli in stool does not mean anything.
secondly regarding the weight of your baby , his weight is slightly on the lower side , though not very low. As you have mentioned his age is 9months right now he should be having a lot of food stuffs. i suggest you decrease the milk and start giving other things like ceralac, daliya , khichdi, boiled potatoes, mashed bananes to name a few .
