Ds (9 mo) didn't gain weight for 2 months now! What can I give him to eat to help him gain weight? He eats baby jars, rice cereal, cookies, pretzels, etc. but hasn't gained an ounce!

Any suggestions??

The doctor said he is still on the chart, but might fall under it anytime soon. He was born 6 lbs to begin with, so now that he's not gaining, I'm a bit concerned

is your baby in general happy? kids growth can slow down a bit once they were moving? what was his previous growth like?

He just about doubled at 6 months old. He is a very active boy and is usually a pretty happy boy. I have to remember when he needs to eat since he can sometimes play for hours at a time

I wouldnt worry then. especially if he doubled at 6 months. if he is active and happy it's fine. some kids are just small and there's nothing you can do.
