Hello, thanx for using hcm, ideal height and weight for one year old male child is ht :74-78cm and weight :9-11kgs. Height is mostly genetical. If parents are short in stature the same is inherited in children ,but always diet plays a major role in the growth of the child.
As child is one year old you can start feeding home made food like rice , wheat, oats porridges ,dals, vegetable soups,vegetable curries, fruit juice, chicken soup, well cooked meats and eggs without spices.Feed the child every 3-4 hourly.
Dn panic about height and weight you concentrate in feeding the child. Always give cereal with proteins in three meals and in between fruits or juices or vegetable soups.Dnt over feed the child.Maintain hygeine in cooking and feeding.
