Accepted Answer

You can add full cream cows milk, eggs, meat if non vegetarian, potatoes and all diary products like butter, curd, ghee, cheese, paneer etc. Add dry fruits and nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashew, walnut, fig, dates in the child's regular diet. They will help to increase weight. But if he eats everything then I think u shouldn't worry. My kids are under weight for their age but they are good eaters as well. Skinny look may be due to genetic reasons. If father or mother was skinny during their childhood then she could also be getting the same physique. So as long as the child is eating properly and is active and healthy you need not worry much about the weight.
