A. Hello father one of the reason could mostly be metabolising of the child and other is family genes . Also check his weight as per his birth weight which tend to triple by the age of 1 year and then it takes about 5 years to double it up. Give him usual foods that are made at home for the family no much restrictions as such for them now . Give eggs , dry fruits and nuts , variety of dals , legumes like chana , rajma etc , whole grains and cereals , fruits and vegetables which are seasonal and locally available
