Welcome to healthcaremagic,
Your child had normal birth weight of 3.25 kgs but now her weight is only 6.8 kgs as against the expected 12 kgs. Your son has a Hb of 9.9 gm% which is less than normal and is referred to as anemia. The most common cause of anemia in children in India is because of iron deficiency in diet. Very children in India also have anemia due to a disease called as thalassemia. I recommend you to get a blood test of your son for blood iron levels and Hb electrophoresis. If your baby is suffering from iron deficiency anemia then he has to be iron rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, beans, chicken, fish and meat. As your baby is also underweight you need to give him high protein and calorie food such as more of milk, egg, fish, toffees, nuts, green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
