Thanks for asking HCM
First of all wean him off the bottle. try to feed him from your plate. Give him milk only twice a day. put 1 tsf of ghee whatever he eats, if he is underweight. start giving him mix vegetable juices or soups. two servings of vegetables and 2 serving of fruits are mandatory. take a mixture of jaggery, all dry fruits (grounded) make laddoos(size of his fist) and give in between meals all his nutritional requirement will be fullfilled. Add little black pepper to his soup daily to increase his immunity.
hope this help.
thanks.
