No one can give a reason behind lack of weight gain inspite of good nutrition. Baby is not severely malnourished as per weight. Please mention height also. You are doing a great job. Continue breastfeeding till minimum 2 years as it gives immunity. Don't give formula milk. It may make him plump but brings a lot of trouble with it. You are doing a great job. Continue home cooked fresh food, fruits and vegetables. Don't worry about weight. Consult your Pediatrician about height and weight. No one can make a baby plump.
