My son is 9.7 kg at 18 months. he was born 2.975 kg's and 49cm in height. is his bmi normal? what can i do to ensure that he eats more?

The basics: We do not use BMI under 2 yo we use relative growth percentages compared to other kids of the same gender. Here he was ~25% wt & length at birth and remains at ~25% for weight, which is where he would be expected to be. I would not want him to eat more if he is healthy and maintaining a normal growth pattern.
