A. It should be around 17-18 kg Anemia, vitamin deficiency ,worm infestation causes loss of appetite. Better to get evaluated If everything is normal and baby is active do not worry Make a schedule. Make child eat every three to four hours: three meals, two snacks, and lots of fluids. Zinc helps in building appetite. can give cashew nuts, almonds, raisins and add pumpkin seeds in porridges. They are good for improving the level of zinc . Try including these into your child's meals or snacks. make soups with milk instead of water. Involve child In buying and food making process. Serve food in different patterns. use attractive cutlery. Set examples by eating all healthy foods. Motivate and praise.

A. As long as the kid is eating properly and is healthy and active you need not worry much about the weight. Keep bringing in healthy eating habits and a healthy life style.
