. Can you please tell about the dietary habits of your child. Yes, the weight of the baby is less. We can start the baby on nutritional supplements but do encourage her to take home based food and continue mother's milk till 2 years. I think calcium, vitamin d and iron supplements should be continued and syrup albendazole 5ml single dose should be given for deworming.

Get her examined and pls get maternal history along with birth record of baby. Need details. Supplements will help for sure but need to find the cause for not gaining weight.
