Baby underweight
My son is 11 months and his weight is 7.8 kg. He was 3 kg at the time of birth. He was taking normal solid diet and breastmilk but from last 15 days he isn't interested in eating. He is active and prefers to eat only those foods that can help him relieve his teeth pain like hard foods like cucumber slice apple pieces etc. This has led to frequent night feedings and sleep deprivation in both me and him. Kindly help. I give him orofex 1 ml twice a day, calcarea phosphate 2 tablets twice a day, vitamin d3 1 ml od.

Complementary food is all about fixed routine. Feeding at this age can be tricky too. Give calorie dense and protein rich food in paste or puree form. Multivitamin are not going to be that helpful if child is already active.
