My daughter is of 17 month and still she is weighing 7.5 kg only. My wife is staff nurse so when my wife is on duty my mother is giving food to my daughter. My daughter is taking around 2 hours for each meal. My wife is taking lot of efforts but still my daughter is not gaining weight. We are pure vegetarian.
