Hello I understand how stressful it should be as a parent for you to see that your child is not at par with other children in growth. I would like to know a little bit more details about what your child is going through! What is her exact height? Was she a preterm baby? ( Born before few weeks to months of due date) Was she breastfed exclusively for 6 months and how did you wean her? What does she predominantly consume? Type of diet? Does she take enough proteins? Previous history of hospitalization? How much urine does she pass per day? (Excessive or less) If I can rule out other causes of inadequate weight gain we can attribute to inadequate nutrition and start on dietary rehabilitation.

Next Steps

she needs a few labs to be done and some clinical examination before I could suggest treatment plan for your daughter

Health Tips

you can start on protein rich food like eggs, paneer, tofu, soya etc until you consult me or a pediatrician for the same
