[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your baby is weighing 10.75 kg at one year eight months. He is within the normal range for his age. You need not worry. That he is not gaining weight and lost about half kg is a matter of concern. Start giving high calorie and energy dense foods so that he will pick up weight at a normal pace .as such the weight gain is reduced during second year compared to first year. During first year the baby trebles its birth weight (gains about 6-7 kg) whereas it gains only 2 kg during entire second year. Hope this reply is OK for you.Further, queries invited. Chat Doctor. V.
