What Causes A Delayed Growth Despite Good Food Intake?

My Baby girl is 11 months old and she is not having growth as good as expected in general. Her weight is 8 kg and hight 72inch. She is totally reliable on TOP FEED (lactogen2) from the birth. Now she has started to intake other food items as well. Could you please suggest ?

Hi, a child triples her birth weight by 1 year of age and grows in height by 25 cm in the first year. This goes to show that the growth of your child is adequate at current feeding practices. Continue top feed(although not advised) and supplemental feeds. Give her vitamin D3 drops 1 ml once daily for next few months. Give her calcium supplements in form of Syrup Osteocalcium or Calcimax P 5 ml twice a day. Deworm the child if never done before with Syrup Albendazole 10 ml once only at night. She should do fine with these supplements.
Thanks and regards.
