Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
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 it's 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 .
