Weight gain problem
My son is 19 months old, his weight is 9.8 kgs and height is 83cm. His birth weight was 3.4kgs. Is he underweight. I feed him everything from eggs to cheese, but his weight is not increasing. He is very active though. What should i do?

Weight is on lower side but his height is good for his age
No need to worry
But its better to plot on growth chart(for his height and weight monitoring)
If his appetite is not good then better to check his haemoglobin percentage
Kindly take appointment online for further discussion
