Underweight baby girl
Hi, my daughter's turning 2 in another month. She's actually a bit underweight for her age, currently at 7.7kgs to be exact. She eats nutritious home food with ragi, wheat, dry fruits, dal, fruits etc all mixed in and no outside /junk food, but hasn't gained much weight since she turned 1. Her cognitive/brain functions are all great and beyond her age. Should we be concerned about her weight overall or are some kids like this in general? Thanks!
