Weight should be around 18kilos. Height around107 cm. I say “around” because height and weight depends on a lot of factors. If your child has eating adequately, active never needed admission to the hospital in the past then you shouldn’t worry too much about his weight or height.
Next Steps
Don’t stress yourself
Health Tips
Give iron rich food like dates , jaggery and anjeer
