A. if child is not gaining proper weight you need to consult your doctor to rule out the cause and most of the time it could be because of nutritional deficiencies like nutritional anemia and sohme other factors like malabsorption any chrhonic disease like congenital heart disease or some chronic infection specialgly urine infection or worm infestation should be checked if required .
