Hi. Your child's weight falls between -1 to -2 z score which is low for his age. You should modify his dietary habits. Try to incorporate more of energy dense foods like adding ghee to his roti or daal chawal, banana atleast 2-3 per day, mango, adding sugar to his milk, etc. Also you should do deworming with albendazole atleast once a year.
