    Asha,

    I am not a pro here but even DS refused to walk until 3 weeks ago. He has been cruising around the furniture since he was 8 months old..When I used to hold his hand and make him walk he used to instantly refuse sit down and crawl..

    Since we have carpet at home, I tried the walking thing on the driveway which has concrete. He instantly held my hands and started walking..After doing that for about 2 weeks, he took his independent steps and ever since he has been taking 6-8 steps on his own...He still prefers to crawl though.

    What I am trying to say is, may be a different surface could help? Instead of the flooring at home, try other surfaces like grass, concrete etc. Don't put any footwear..

    My Paed always says that "LO's will do things whevever they are ready. We are just there to create a medium for them to learn"...So don't worry..

    Before you realise, he will surprise you :)

    BTW, I am not sure if tripling the birth weight by one year applies to every baby or not...Atleast that's what my Paed says..Because DS was born 10.5 pounds and there is no way he can triple the birth weight by 1 year. He just doubled his birth weight...

    To increase your LO's weight you can try Avocado. I am not sure if it is available in India..If it is, I strongly suggest you feed him that...It is very good source of fat..Egg is a good source too..

    Don't worry and enjoy your LO.

    thank you sudha.. your idea of changing the walking surface makes sense. this guy seems to have these texture sensitivity otherwise also. he would go up and down the bed, but never with our new bean bag. he started touching it after initial hesitation.

    Avocado.. india moms help?
    Egg.. i need to start; like i said earlier, i am going slow only coz of his wheeze issue. walking later is easier compared to manage repeat wheeze. any other suggestions on food pls??

    Don worry...every child is different...
    my cousin's daughter is 17 months old...she started walking only in her 15th month...she started to sit on her own only after 10 months which usually happens in 6 months...

    Asha, my neighbour's child 1.1yr old is also on a lower percentile, her paed suggested idli as breakfast, with dhal rasam or dhal as such. This rice+urad+moong combo helps to gain weight faster. So is dalia+moong+veggie combo itseems. Sathumaavu - they make a porridge and give their LO in the evenings. Or they make puttu, serve it with banana in the mornings.
