[|Human|] Hi, My son is 8 months old & he is weighing 7.2 Kg, he is very active & happy. when I refered some charts of age & wieght he seems to be underwieght , is it so?. What diet to be given? he is not in mothers feed for the past 4 months is that the problem?
[|AI|]  Yes, he is below the 5tg gentile for age, but what about the high and head circumference? Is he developmentally up to his age ? These are needed to role out and exclude medical disorders.caloric intake must be increased to reach the desired weight, which is about 8-9 kg for his age .you can do it by either increase the amount of milk to 225 ml every 3 hours which is difficult to be taken by him, or either concentrate the milk more by preparing 8 grams of powder milk to each 50 ml instead of 60 ml and give him 180 ml every 3 hours. And assessment of weight must be every 2 days. I hope this is helpful
