POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. For a 3-year-7-month-old child who needs healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced, nutrient-rich diet with enough calories and variety. Here are the best nutrition tips:
Healthy Fats: Include ghee, butter (in moderation), peanut butter, cheese, and avocado to increase calories.
Full-Fat Dairy: Give full cream milk, curd, paneer, and homemade milkshakes (banana, mango, dates, etc.).
Protein-Rich Foods: Add eggs, lentils (dal), beans, tofu, chicken, and fish to support muscle growth.
Carbohydrates: Provide energy-rich foods like rice, roti, potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats, and whole grain cereals.
Fruits & Vegetables: Bananas, mangoes, chikoo, and boiled or mashed veggies add fiber and nutrients.
Dry Fruits & Nuts: Almonds, cashews, walnuts, raisins—soaked or powdered—can be added to porridge or milk.
Small Frequent Meals: Give 5-6 small meals/snacks throughout the day instead of 3 large ones.
Homemade Energy Foods: Try suji halwa, khichdi with ghee, vegetable poha, or besan laddoos.
Also, ensure the child is active and gets enough sleep. If appetite is low or there’s no weight gain despite good food, consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
