A. for good Growth of the child it is important that the child should get proper nutritional requirement which is very important for the growing child specially iron and vitamin D is required for better growth and cognition . also there is role of other micronutrients. one should ensure that the child should get a proper balanced diet which contains all types of nutrients essential for growth. any kind oghf infection spyecially any chronic infection should be ruled out and treated which may hamper the growth otherwise. after 2 years of age you can give some powder like kids Pro/ prohance junior mix in milk twice a day for one or two months.

A. That only very clearly denotes that your breast feeding is not proper for the child I would advise you to switch off your breast feeding and go ahead with giving formula feeding to the child because if your breast feeding your child is not gaining their new point continuing with such breastfeeding for the child
