Brief Answer:
The diet might not be proper

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Let me mention that the birth weight of a baby is supposed to triple by 1 year of age. If that has already occurred, rest assured that things are fine. However, it is possible that the diet is not proper.

I would insist you to go through the following chart about what foods to give at what age:

Noting down so much information would have made the answer unnecessarily long. Pardon me for avoiding that.

Hopefully that clears your queries.
