A. To help your 3.5-year-old son gain healthy weight, focus on providing nutrient-dense, high-calorie foods in small, frequent meals. Since he doesn’t like milk, you can offer other dairy options like cheese, paneer, curd, or smoothies made with fruits and yogurt. Here are some tips: Healthy fats: Add ghee, butter, or nut powders (like almond or peanut powder) to his chapatis, dals, or porridge. Protein-rich foods: Include eggs (if you give), dal, paneer, curd, tofu, and pulses in his meals. Carbohydrates: Offer rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, and oats in various tasty forms. Energy-rich snacks: Give dry fruits laddus, banana pancakes, stuffed parathas with ghee, or vegetable upma with nuts. Smoothies and shakes: Make fruit smoothies with peanut butter or oats to add calories and nutrition without using milk. Also, ensure he is active and gets good sleep. Avoid junk food or too much juice, as they fill him up without providing enough nutrients. Regular growth tracking and a pediatrician’s advice will help guide his weight gain safely.
