POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 months agoA. If your 3-year, 11-month-old child is eating well but not gaining weight, it could be helpful to focus on providing nutrient-dense and calorie-rich foods that support healthy weight gain. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Increase Healthy Fats: Full-fat dairy: Whole milk, full-fat yogurt, cheese. Nut butters: Almond, peanut, or cashew butter (you can spread on bread or add to smoothies). Healthy oils: Add extra virgin olive oil, ghee, or avocado to meals, soups, or vegetables. 2. Protein-Rich Foods: Include more eggs, paneer, chicken, lentils, and tofu to support muscle development and overall growth. 3. Carbohydrates for Energy: Include whole grains like oats, rice, and whole wheat bread for sustained energy. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can also contribute to weight gain. 4. Frequent, Nutritious Snacks: Offer smoothies made with full-fat milk, yogurt, fruit, and nuts. Homemade energy bars made from oats, dates, nuts, and seeds. Bananas, mangoes, and other calorie-dense fruits are great for extra calories. 5. Encourage Regular Meals and Snacks: Offer three main meals and 2-3 healthy snacks throughout the day to ensure your child is getting a steady supply of calories. 6. Monitor Sleep and Activity: Ensure your child gets 10-12 hours of sleep to support growth. Keep encouraging active play to help with muscle development and hunger.
If weight gain continues to be a concern despite these changes, it might be a good idea to check in with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical issues.
