my 11 month old baby seems rather small. his next check up is not until next month. at his 9 month check up he weighed 17lbs 4oz. he is not a chubby baby at all. his started out well at his first few months check up he was always in the 90th percentile, at his 9month check up he was in the 15th percentile. the doc said there was nothing to worry about. I feed him regualr meals that the rest of the family is eating, including friuts, veggies and fruit juices. he doen't seem to want fomular anymore either, he drinks maybe one bottle a day. his appetite is good one day and then will barely eat anything the next day. any suggestions to help my baby put on some weight?

Did the doctor the doctor have any good options that you should attempt?

Please don't worry too much.
Your baby is alright. As long he is healthy and well, will be good.
Just carry on the way you feed him... don' t force him to eat those he don't like...
You cannot force your baby to gain weight. Maybe he looks like you or your husband or any body in your family is small size build..
Don't worry.
