#AskTheExpert hello doctor my son is 2 year old and his weight is still 12 kg from last year. is that a problem becauyhe is underweight what should I do. and is giving any weight increasing syrup safe for him

A. Weight is fine actually. Bbaues don't gain weight after a year. The weigt gain is very low. in the first 3 months, babies put on about 800-900grams each month. From 3-6 months, weight gain reduces to 1/2 kg/month. from 6-9 months, it becomes 1/3, and for 9-12 months, it becomes 1/4 kg. the birth weight doubles in the 4th month and triples when they reach 12 months of age.
