Weight is between 3rd and 50th centile as per IAP growth chart. She is not underweight. There is no problem if teeth erupt late. But please consult a pediatric dentist. For iron give Syrup Orofer 2.5ml once a day (for daily requirement) and Syrup Calcimax P 5ml twice a day (calcium)

Hello,
Weight is ok as per birth weight status.
If child at one year old, still not one teeth visible - please consult your doctor or online consultation for further evaluation.
Take care.
