Hi... Her weight is in lower range but not too low...so dont worry... There is no medicine in the world which increases the weight... weight of the child depends on what she eats...so concentrate on her feeding... Are you giving semisolids or not....??? Kindly specify her diet so that we can advice further...

Hello Strictly speakings its not appropriate weight for age But instead of single record better track her weight rate and it also depends on her birth weight 1. What's her birth weight ? 2. Nutrition history ? How many months was she exclusively breast fed? How many times you used to feed her ? When did you start supplementary solid foods ? Kindly provide her total diet chart from the time you started solid foods Most infants tend to slow on their weight gain & refuses certain foods / become picky eaters around 9mnths age, its their age of developing autonomy. So there is no single miracle food item that can increase your child's weight gain drastically It needs elaborate discussion with a pediatrician to adress poor weight gain
