Make your own food, don't give the jars as the calorie cotent is about 100kcal for the whole jar.

You haven't said if she has lost weight or if she is just not gaining weight. Is she following a centile chart line?
What you must avoid if she has weight issues is any foods which will make her feel full for longer, so no brown bread, brown pasta etc. It is important that she has white stuff, even though it might seem strange.
Are you using dairy? If so, cook things in butter, add cream to cheese sauces, grate cheese onto things.
Have you thought about baby led weaning? If your lo can control the amount that she eats then she may increase her foods.
Just remember, that milk is her primary source of calories and nutrition until she is 1, so do not reduce any milk feeds (just remember, if you were dieting, would you cut our the cream or the boiled carrot?)

Instead of half and half of formula increse the amount of formula in the bottles for example in an eight oz bottle instead of 4 and 4 put more formula in the bottle. You could try to give him/her more baby food/ regular food which ever him/her prefure. Increase the amount of baby cereal in the bottle also that would help.

I don't know if your just feeding exclusively baby food or not, but try giving her a little of what you're having for dinner and just blitz it up. Maybe vary her diet or try giving healthy snacks between meals. Thanks to Dr Atkins we're supposed to think carbs are really bad but you could feed her pasta and bread. Every baby is different and unless your doctor's concerned just try to make sure you're giving her good tasty food.

Have you started giving her solids? Try giving her an extra serving of either formula or baby food during the day...also if you have a jumper that causes them to burn a lot of calories.

Hi, Porridge made with your baby's usual milk, or full fat cows milk, full fat yoghurt and fromage frais, rusks, bananas, meals with things like mashed potato, vegetables, fish or chicken - blended or mashed together with a little full fat milk to give it a smooth consistency. All babies are different and some are much daintier than others. Speak to your health visitor or GP if you are concerned that she is underweight.

rusks mixed with warm milk or baby rice. This will help your baby to feel fuller for longer as well. But unless your doctor or health visitor had expressed concern about your babies weight then I wouldnt worry to much.
