My son (105 days) is suffering from CHD (congenital heart disease). His VSD is 6 mm & ASD is 4 mm also has pulmonary valve stenosis. His surgery is recommended by AIIMS-Delhi & surgery is expected in coming months. My question is about his low growing weight. He is still under of 4.5 kg (with cloths) I am very much in tension due to this. Please suggest something so I could raise his weight as much as possible till the time of surgery. I?ll be highly obliged Thanks.

Hello dear lybrate-user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query for your son thoroughly.* There are no additional supplements for 105 days old child for weight gain except breast feeding, and CHD is also a major factor for low weight.* So do not panic regarding the weight, anesthesia and all other things are planned in accordance to weight only, so he would be fine for sure, have to rely on almighty God. Hope this clears your query. Wishing your toddler fine recovery and cheerful smile after surgery. May God give you enough strength to carry out this mission. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
