Is he eating?? Maybe you should try using the 22 calorie formula by enfamil. It's called enfacare lipil. Also, try giving cereal, fruit and veggies.

Has his height changed during that time? He may be going thru a growth spurt. As long as he's health and not mistreated, you should not be worried needlessly.

Babies need a lot of fat. if you're feeding him fruits and veggies because you think it's healthier, think again. It could also be because he has a thryoid problem, which will make it hard to gain (or loose) weight.
you have to be careful, though. starving a baby is a crime and you could loose custody.
