hello sir since your baby was a low birth weight baby it takes time for such babies to gain weight . at 9 months average weight is around 9 kgs he is at 6.5 which is just half a kg less than minimum weight for that age . don't worry just feed him well increase the quantity of cerelac to 3 scoops a day add some chapati grinded in milk in his diet and consult a pediatrician so that he starts you a multi vitamin and a calcium and vit D3 syrup on a regular basis
