His weight required is about 13kg and height required about 89-90cm
Weight and height are a little less
Need to give protein and calories rich foods
Give 5-6times food per day
Make calories rich by adding ghee or oil in food being served
Give protein rich foods like dal, milk(2 glass/day), one egg/day boiled, groundnut with jaggary(in form of laddu or other form)
Never use nipple bottle for water or milk always use glass/cup for liquids
Follow up weight and height check up every 2-3 months
