11 month old boy- 8.1kg
My 11 month old baby boy is 8.1kg. He was 2.8kg when he was born. He refuses to eat well. I breastfeed him four times a day. He eats apple and banana and ragi porridge. Anything other than that is a struggle to make him eat. Is he underweight? Please let me know how much he should eat and how often. We went to a pediatrician and he suggested a tonic to make him feel hungry. Is it really required?
