Hello mom 
Some babies don’t gain weight easily but in such cases if your baby is active and taking proper meals on time then everything is fine and nothing to worry about. Now you more than one year old so you should just try to give daily routine food to your baby because there are no food restrictions now. Baby should take at least four meals in a day and you should also start giving banana shake every morning it will help in increasing babies weight

it is very common that at this age there will be many times stagnation of the weight of the child due to increase physical activity as well as tantrums of not taking proper diet as well as genetic patterns come into picture but if the child is play full and is not having any other complaints do not worry and wait and watch and continue your efforts in feeding the child
