Baby is not much underweight for this age. Vitamin D3 Drop should be given regularly to the baby.
Next Steps
Give Vitamin D3 Drops untill 2 years of age. Multivitamin Drop is not much essential if the baby gets adequate complementary feed.. Feeding is very vital for this age. Give feeding at least 3 times extra in addition to the breastfeeding with natural food. That will ensure adequate weight gain. Vitamin D3 Drops should be given at the dose of 400 IU daily till 1 year of age, then at 600 IU after 1 year of age
