Concerned about baby growth

2018-07-03 04:20:12
Hello doctor, My son is 19 months old. His height is 75cm and weight is 10.2 kg which is below average. I am concerned very much about his growth. I don't see any improvement in his growth past 6 months. Can anyone please suggest any health mix which helps in baby's growth. Can i use junior Horlicks? He likes to drink milk often. Appreciate your time and help. Thanks.

Do not give more than 250ml milk per day. Junior Horlicks may be given after 2 years of age. Until then you can give milkshakes/smoothies. Include fresh and dry fruits in his diet. Give  3 major meals and 2 snacks in a day. U can try deworming followed by an iron and/or multivitamin supplements to improve his health
