Usually all babies will not gain weight as mothers hope for and generally they grow only 0.5-1 Kg every year after the first birth day. But the rate of growth can be affected by birth history and other matters. But you must check if he has hypothyroidism / or anemia which is a common disease that gives all the symptoms. If these tests are normal, you must stop bottle feed if you give and feed only with spoon and all homemade foods should be given. He should not be given any fluids in bottle with nipple where as you can give in a sippert if the cup and spoon is not acceptable.
