A. If the child is screaming in laughter or with a smile on the face and that is excitement if you see tears that means your child is angry or hurt or any difficulties is there and sometimes when you see sad expressions while screaming that means your child is genuinely having a problem with this way you can discriminate and for proper weight I think it would be good to consult a nutrition expert for a proper diet plan that you can follow
