My 5 month old baby is not gaining weight and appearance is small. Worrying about this symptom.Here are the details.
Birth weight : 2.97kg
Gender. : Male
Days completed : 165 days
Current weight : 5.3kg
Height : 62cm
Head circumference : 39.5
According to the weight gain chart he should have reached double of his birth weight by 150th day itself but he is not.
We have started some basic solid food like apple and potato for the past 15 days
He is achieving all milestones apart from weight gain like listening,rotating moving.
Consulted few doctors locally everyone saying let's wait and watch nothing to worry as of now as he is active and no abnormalities except weight.
I really worry is he affected with down syndrome something like that please advise
