A. it is important for you to know that the weight of the child depends upon the genetic patterns and by that pattern only the weight gain in child is seen. it also depends upon the diet the child is taking. so it is advisable that you should meet the doctor who will tell you whether there is anything to worry or not and whether the child requires any health supplements. the child should be given given different flavours and recipes made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily in small amount. you can add ghee groundnuts dryfruits in the diet and this will help in improving the weight of the child. you can go through many recipes for children in different flavour and taste for your child on firstcry

A. hi well , weight gain is good so nothing to worry about it. but as your child is getting cold frequently ,you should take some extra care . I mean , please offer breasfeeding as per your child needs,it contains antibodies which help your child to fight against viral or bacterial infection. dress your child in weather appropriate clothes. keep your child well hydrated give homemade healthy food it is best to serve citrus fruits more which will help to strengthen your child immunity give Sunbath for 20 minutes a day.
