Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
your baby is definitely underweight
may be due to improper feeding
it may be a chronic infection like tuberculosis
any way your baby should be under constant supervision and treatment of a pediatrician
Hope this answer will serve your purpose

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You became over conscious regarding your baby, the baby is really doing very good, it is the pattern of height and weight, when weight becomes stable then height increases, you need not worry the weight of your baby, it is not a immunity problem, take care of your baby.
