Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi welcome to forum, I would like to ask few question. 1. what is the child's birth weight? 2. what is his diet chart like? Since he is 11months I suppose he must have been already dewormed. If I were your pediatrician, I would deworm this child, start on Iron Folic acid suppliment and few multivitamin along with proper diet chart , and follow child's growth. Any child would triple his birth weight by 1 year. so if your child has tripled his weight since birth and is developmentally well please do not worry, and give stress in healthy feeding with high calorie intake
Thank you
