Underweight
My daughter is underweight. She is 2 years 1 month old and she is still 9.3 kg. She is healthy, plays well and all the milestones reached on time. I am worried about her weight. Can we give any vitamins to meet her daily requirements?.

Usually by years average weight must be 12kg your baby weight is 9.3 kg so it is around grade 1 it is there so if it is chronic or acute first we have to see the baby length/ height ,so that we can say it is acute or chronic.
But no need to worry always home food is better and add more vegetables and ghee and daily one egg.

If child is playful, not having any chronic illness, then just improve diet , just give home made foods, at-least 1and half katori or from your plate and just add extra ghee, if no vitamin deficiency then no need to give vitamins, just give healthy and proper diet which is easily available at home and do weight monitoring every month, child is not malnourished right now weight is low but not severe underweight
