hi anant,
are you in the usa? if yes, mix a teaspoon of baby cereal(gerber rice) to whatever onces of milk your baby takes in a bottle. seet hat its diluted well and it falls through the nipple. this will give added calories to the baby. 4 mths is too young to give any other kind of foods like mashed potatoes. but do try teh dilution of cereal in evry alternate feed. this was told by my daughter's pediatrician when i was concerned, too.
in india people give honey, but in the usa, pediatricians don't suggest it b'coz they are scarred that the child wil get a certain illness caused my honey. (i don't know the eact name). so i didn't try honey for my baby.
how many lbs is your baby at 4 mths? what percentile is he on? if he is on the 5o% tile atleast, don't bother really. b'coz most indian kids are on this percentile and on the 95th percentile for height !!
let me know

Hi nicemon.

I just wanted to tell you, it's a relief to see it in writing. My son is on the 95th % in height and 5% in weight. It's stressful!!!My daughter used to gulp 6-8 oxz formula, this one takes 2 hours to finish one feed. I am surprides I still have hair!!

Take Care
