Accepted Answer

for proper weight gain of the baby, you need to give a proper balanced diet that meets nutritional requirement according to the age for normal growth.you can add dairy products like curd cheese butter and mix into the food items as well as give all homemade preparations.. apart from this you should give all seasonal fruits and vegetables introduced in discrete flavours to develop interest of the baby.
 it is very important to make the the feeding a gaming activity rather than forcing the child to eat.
 you should avoid any kind of junk food in between meals and do not give lot of milk too,so that the baby should feel hungry for proper meals.
you should also give protein rich diet preferably egg and paneer etc. in the mijkslk you can mix any good health supplement powder like kids Pro  or nangrow if the baby is above 2yrs of age or dry fruits powder if possible.
you can get your child examined by pediatrician once to rule out any other possibility that will affect the growth and diet of the baby.

Answer

Supplement Does not help in gaining weight they help in only meeting the deficiencies of the body I think your child is about 7 to 8 kgs underweight you do need to do something for it as of now I can only advise you to consult your nutritionist once she will be able to advise you correctly on this issue
