My daughter weight gain is very slow
My daughter was born premature at 30 weeks. She is 13 months now and has weight of 7.8kg. Weight is gradually increasing but very slow.
She is achieving all the milestones at right time. She is super active and will be playing most of the time. No other health concerns. She doesn't sleep during the day and has a full sleep between 9pm to 8am.
Is there anything to be worried or checked? Please suggest if any health gain foods that would help her gain weight.
