Growth

My grandson is 11 months old and very small- 17 lbs and 27 in., he was 7.2 lbs at birth ans 21 in. He is now in the 3rd percentile in height and weight. Should we be concerned?  He eats very well and is still nursing but gains weight very slowly.

Nursing him is good, what solid food is he eating at 11 months he can have many finger foods, perhaps step up the protein content, pretty well anything soft, Cheerio's , meat spreads on toast or bread, deli turkey and chicken, cheese, beans , pasta, peas, most veg ,banana ..Let him eat himself they love it and eat better than being fed .good luck I bet he's adorable
