Accepted Answer

the height of the child depends upon the genetic patterns as well as the diet the child is taking. 
so meet your doctor who will tell you whether it is within the normal limits according to the height of the parents or not. 
the doctor will calculate mid parental height and then tell you whether any intervention in the form of supplements is required or not.f
it is advisable that the child should take some amount of cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily according to the age of the child.
regular physical activity is also important to increase the weight and height of the child.

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please give eggs and chicken to the baby. Also give chicken soup to the baby. Please give banana shake and ragi porrige to the baby. Please give lots of green vegetables and dairy products and soaked almonds to the baby on daily basis. Please limit soda and juices and high fat foods like chips or biscuits or cakes etc.
Thanks and take care
