Hello madam
Weight of the baby appears to be low for age.There is no magic pill which can increase the weight of baby except nutritious diet.Please make sure that baby receives sufficient Iron and protein rich diet and do not rely on multivitamin supplements promoted by pharma companies.
SYP.BANDY(400mg/10ml) 10ml should be given as single dose if deworming is not done.Hope this helps!
