Madam I believe the weight gain of the child is quite less as per the age also your haemoglobin levels are less so I would suggest you that you take any good iron supplement suggested by the doctor with a juice like pomegranate or orange juice whatever is there that’s going to help in double absorption of the iron and you need to work upon a balanced diet to increase the weight of the child for that you should consult a nutritionist
