Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Do not worry.
Your childs weight and height are not much lesser than other childrens.
Actually it depends on birth weight.
Birth weight triples by the age of three years.
For increasing weight and height , you need to give reduced the intake of bread , biscuits, chocolates and milk so that child will have space for home made food.
Try upma, shira, rice, butter, fruits to increase the weight.
Also you can try some appetite stimulant like cyproheptadine and iron tonic.
Let the child play outdoor games.
Hope i helped you.
