Hi...your daughter is definitely underweight even when compared with her age or with her birth weight. Low bicarbonate is suggestive of metabolic acidosis and she definitely needs further evaluation for -
1. Renal tubular acidosis
2. Inborn errors of metabolism.
3. Other causes of failure to thrive needs to be ruled out.
