I have read your query and understand your concerns.
11 kg weight at 2 years is less than normal.
First of all maintain a daily routine of diet for the child.
Exclude milk and milk products.
3 meals and 3 snacks should be added in daily routine.
You can give the normal meal to child of 2 years, which you cook at home for 3 times.
3 snacks may consist of a cereal, fruit and home made khichri, saago dana, biscuit etc.
All family members should take meals on regular times. It should be a family time and no one should be allowed to discuss amount of food one is taking or force the other to take more food.
Children follow the eating habits of parents. One dish should be favorite of your child.
Please follow this routine and than ask me any query which you face.
Regards
