Thanks for the follow up.
Weight and height shows that he is somewhat smaller than average children of his age.
I might have started him on cyproheptidine and iron tonic. Discuss with his doctor.
Also some protien suplement should be started.
It will increase appetite of child.
Birth weight also plays significant role in future development of a child. If the birth weight is low overall weight gain will be slower. But as there is no physical abnormality, you need to worry.
