Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Weight gain in a child is a good indicator for proper health of the child and there should be a regular weight gain as per the age of the child. if there is not a proper weight gain it can be because of many factors and three most important causes are
Baby not taking enouugh calories
Baby is not absorbing the enough calories which the baby is taking
Baby is burnring too many calories .
So a proper assessment is very important to know the cause regarding this .
