Poor weight of 1 year old
My 1 year old son weighs only 7.5 kg. Our doctor has also raised concern about his weight gain. We’ve been advised to increase iron-rich foods in his diet and also start iron syrup. The biggest challenge is that he simply refuses to eat. The moment he wakes up, he wants milk first,if I don’t feed him, he cries a lot. Because of this, I’m struggling to establish a proper meal routine, and he often refuses solids altogether. The only positive thing is that he’s very active, playful, and meets his milestones well, but his weight is a constant worry for me. I’m feeling really stressed and anxious about his eating habits and weight. Please suggest if there's any underline issue related to it. Bw - 2.27 kg Preterm baby at 35 week.

Suffering from diarrhea
My daughter is 1 year old with weight of 6.8kg. For past 2 days she is passing out greenish colored and liquidy stools. She is also refusing to eat anything that we offer. We are giving her ORS water frequently and trying to offer her plain rice but she is rejecting rice however she drinks ORS water and also sometimes feeding on mother's milk. She is crying a lot but still active. What is it that I should be doing. Are there any prescriptive medicines which will help ease my daughter's condition. We went to a paediatrician and he prescribed her antibiotics and a probiotic directly saying it is a bacterial infection. I am skeptical of his approach and am reluctant to start her on antibiotics directly. What is standard protocol in such cases. Should the doctor have prescribed zinc initially to her heal her guy lining and the next steps should be antibiotics.
