hi
usually the kids gain of weight become slow at this stage of age compared to initial days of life.
there are many reasons like worm infection , nutritional deficiency or increased activity level etc which causes low weight gain.
so please check for that also.
for Healthy weight gain, offer starch rich food like boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice to your child.
give energy dense fruits like apple banana papaya etc to your child.
add dairy products like paneer curd ghee milk etc in your child diet.
maintain good hygiene.
