Hi, Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic. I suggest you to stop worrying as the child is healthy, active. For her weight gain you can try to improve her diet. You can give boiled eggs daily, foods prepared from ground nuts. You can add ghee or edible oil to her regular diet. Give home made food and it should be well balanced. For improvement in her appetite, you can give a multivitamin syrup with the pediatrician advise. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
Your child weight is little less thn what expected at this age so your worry is justified.try to give different food with different tastes to your baby.try whole family should sit and eat together.in company of others she may eat.add little butter to her food which may result in increase in body weight.there r few medicines which does increase apettite and you can try them but only after an expert consultation.
