Accepted Answer

A 2-year, 6-month-old child weighing only 10 kg and not gaining weight for several months can be concerning. Here are key steps you can take:

1. Nutrient-Dense Diet:
Offer small, frequent meals rich in:

Healthy fats (ghee, peanut butter, avocado) Proteins (eggs, paneer, dal, chicken) Whole grains (ragi, oats, rice) Fruits like banana, chikoo, and mango

2. Limit Milk Intake:
Too much milk (more than 500 ml/day) can reduce appetite for solid food.

3. Deworming:
If not done in the last 6 months, ask your doctor about giving a deworming medicine.

4. Rule Out Underlying Conditions:
Check with a pediatrician for issues like nutrient absorption problems, food allergies, or chronic infections.

5. Encourage Active Play:
Physical activity helps build appetite and overall health.

Also, it’s time to start toilet training and reduce diaper use gradually to promote independence and hygiene.
