Your child is little 2 kg underweight as of now whatever food you are giving I’m going to suggest you to add more of proteins into that and if your child is active then it is not a problem that’s a good sign for vaccination are given up till age of 5 to 6 years so kindly connect with your paediatrician for the list of vaccinations which are meant to be given
