My daughter is 10 months old. We are feeding every 3 hours. Still she is not gaining. Now she is 7kgs only. What could be the reason?

First of all weight is one of the criterion and not the only criterion of health.if child is active who weighed approx 2.5 kg at birth and plays around a lot and is showing progress on growth chart then she's most likely fine.i routinely advise iron; calcium and egg white daily as a protein supplement and 1 banana daily .decrease milk intake to Max 350 ml per day.
Next Steps
get growth charting done
Health Tips
decrease sugar drinks.

At this age,give just 2 milk feeds including one top milk feed and 4 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in the diet. Give her everything you prepare at home,but stick to the above-mentioned diet plan. Weight should be double of birth weight at five months and triple at 1 year of age.
