The weight is around 5th centile for 13 month old baby.. monitor the height… if both are on the lower side.. workup needs to be done …unless the baby has some chronic condition present since birth..
Low weight alone can be due to multiple factors … most common nutritional .. add some ghee to the diet of the baby.
Next Steps
Nutritional counselling advised
Health Tips
