Accepted Answer

For a 2-year-8-month-old baby, a weight of 9.5 kg is below the average range for this age. Ideally, the weight should be around 11-14 kg, depending on height and genetics. However, if your child is active, playful, and meeting milestones, it may not be a big concern.

✅ When Is It Okay?

✔️ Your child is active and energetic.
✔️ Eating well and growing in height.
✔️ No signs of weakness, frequent illness, or slow development.

⚠️ When Should You Be Concerned?

❌ If your child is not eating properly or frequently falls sick.
❌ Sudden weight loss or not gaining weight over months.
❌ Delayed milestones (not walking, talking, or playing actively).

🥗 Foods to Increase Weight in a Healthy Way 1️⃣ High-Calorie, Nutrient-Dense Foods:

🍌 Banana, Mango, Chikoo – Natural energy boosters.
🥛 Full-fat Milk, Curd, Paneer, Cheese – Essential for weight gain.
🥑 Ghee & Butter – Add in small amounts to food.
🌾 Ragi, Oats, Wheat, Rice – Energy-rich grains.
🥜 Almonds, Cashews, Peanuts (Powdered in food).
🥚 Eggs, Fish, Chicken, Dal – High in protein.

2️⃣ Feeding Tips for Better Weight Gain:

✔️ Small, frequent meals – Give food every 2-3 hours.
✔️ No force-feeding – Try new recipes and textures.
✔️ Limit junk & packaged foods – Fresh homemade food is best.

🩺 When to Consult a Doctor?

If your child’s weight gain is very slow, despite a good diet, a pediatrician might check for nutrient deficiencies, food intolerance, or digestion issues.
