Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Let me know
Birth weight, current weight , any recent illness
I usually suggest iron supplements to improve appetite .
If not dewormed give albendazole 200 mg at night and repeat after 2 weeks . That might help her too.
Try giving more fruits and vegetables and less of processed food like bakery or biscuits .
Get back with weight details
