HELLO THANX FOR USING HCM,
HE IS NOT MUCH OVERWEIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO CONTROL DIET.
INFANTS AT THIS AGE BEGINS TO STAND AND WALK IN THAT EFFORT AS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INCREASES THEY TEND TO LOSE WEIGHT.
YOU CAN GIVE HEALTHY DIET WHICH COMPRISES OF CEREALS, PULSES, VEGETABLES , FRUITS AND MILK .SERVE SMALL PORTIONS ,DONT OVER FEED THE CHILD.
AVOID USING OF GHEE, BUTTER, CREAM AND FRIED FOODS IN THE DIET.
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE DIETING FOR INFANTS AT SOME POINT THEY GAIN WEIGHT AT SOME POINT THEY LOOSE WEIGHT ITS V COMMON.
