A. Dear ma’am, do not go by the looks because some kids may have the genetic tendency to appear thin. If the kid is active, eating fairly well, and has age appropriate growth and development then everything is fine

ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist2 years ago

A. dear Mum, if your child is active, playful, achieving growth milestones, weight is within the normal range for child's age then do not worry. for healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups. grains and millets 4 servings pulses legumes/egg non veg: 1-2 servings seasonal vegetables including green leafy vegetables: 1.5 serving fruits1 serving milk and milk products 500ml sugar 4 tsp oil 5 tsp control intake of process packaged food
