What has the dr. said? If your baby is growing at a steady rate that is all that matters. He may just be a small baby.
My youngest son also has trouble gaining weight. He's 2 1/2 and weighs 22lbs. We have had him on Pediasure, it hasn't put much weight on him, but we don't worry about him getting the nutrients he needs either. My son has a medical reason for gaining slowly, though.

If your son or daughter is weighing less then I suggest you dispense with asking medical advice here and take him or her to the doctors immediately and let them know. They will be able to advise you a lot better on seeing the baby and examination.

She weighs less than what? All babies are different. If it is a concern for you, you should take you child to a doctor or child health nurse to have your baby weighed properly and checked out. No one is going to give you a hard time for being an over concerned mother or father.
