Weight gain
Hi all, M concerned about my baby's weight he is 16 months old but he weighs only between 9.6kg to 10kg It's oscillating. When we took his vaccine shot at 15 months he weighed 10kg but now he is weighing 9.7kg. Is it normal to lose weight during summer??or should I be concerned and take advise from my pediatrician...he was 2.89kg at the time of birth and is active... Kindly advise

Yes due to heat, food intake decreases. Fluid intake is more. Also there may be warm clothing in winter while thin clothes in summer, so the difference.
