Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Give him the food which you all eat at home. Can try putting a small spoon of oil or ghee in every meal of rice you give him. But rest normal diet is good enough. Im sure he will pick up his weight in few months.
Avoid giving too much milk, biscuits, bread so that he have room for the home made diet.
Hope i helped you.
I find this answer helpful
