Can my one-year-old gain weight with medication or specific foods?
Good day doctor, I will like to know what medication or what food my baby of one year can take, he is so skinny and it's really affecting his development, his birth weight was 4.0kg and up till now he hasn't gain a reasonable weight, his last weight at 9 months was 6.4kg (birth date 9th of May, 2023)

To help boost your little one's weight, try nutrient-packed foods like avocados, bananas, sweet potatoes, and yogurt. But it's also wise to consult a pediatrician. They can check for any medical problems and provide tailored advice.
