Your son is not only under wt but under ht also. At 9month, normal wt is about 9 kg and ht about 2.4 feet(28 inches). If baby is active, increase his daily diet gradually, consisting all home made articles well cooked with ghee including chapati and pure milk besides your feeding. Home made is best baby food. Suplement multi vitamines, iron and calcium.
