Please do not compare with other children. Remember your child was small at birth .
Normaly the child's weight is thrice its birth wt at one year. Your child has definitly crossed the mark , so don't loose heart. You have done well and keep it up.If the overall growth and mental and physical developement are normal do not worry.
