A. you have to calculate according to the number of weeks the child was Preterm. kindly meet your doctor who will tell you what should be the proper weight and height. usually the child should become totally normal and compete with other children that is also known as ketchup growth should be covered by two years of age

A. See I’m not a doctor but I can tell you that certain times with these kids when the haemoglobin is low in the body the appetite is also less and the body does not accept food as the body should certain times these things are possible so you can consult your doctor for a checkup and you can start with supplements if needed
