Baby growing healthy but very slim
My son one year old. His birthweight was 2935 gms now 8800 gms. But it seems he hasn't put on any fat atall coz his 6 months cloths is still loose on him. Although his height is good. He eats everything now daal,rice, raagi, suji, daliya, almost every vegetable, cow milk, and chicken stock. Still he looks like very slim. But extremely active..what could be the reason do I need to consult doctor?

It's not possible to put on fat. As he is active and eating well, he will gain weight sooner or later. There is no problem.

Hi.
Nothing to worry. Give calorie dense food by adding ghee to all his food. Some kids look lean even though they have good food. If child is active, playful, nothing to worry
