HomeQuestions & Answers#AskTheExpert Hi, My son is 3 years 4 months old now but has 12 kgs of weight. His birth weight was 2.89 kgs. His weight has been growing very slowly since his birth. Though he is active and seems healthy, but I am worried about his weight. He is a picky eater. Doesn't like any of the sweet foods. Please suggest if needs any supplements and is this much weight is a topic of concern?
