POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. To help your daughter gain weight in a healthy way, focus on nutrient-dense foods rather than just increasing quantity. Here are some effective tips:
1. High-Calorie, Nutrient-Rich Foods Dairy: Whole milk, cheese, paneer, curd, homemade milkshakes, and smoothies. Healthy Fats: Ghee, butter, peanut butter, almond butter, coconut, and olive oil. Protein-Rich Foods: Eggs, chicken, fish, lentils (dal), soya, and sprouts. Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds. Fruits & Vegetables: Bananas, mangoes, avocados, sweet potatoes, carrots, and spinach. Carbohydrates: Whole wheat roti, paratha (with ghee), rice, ragi, oats, and makhana. 2. Frequent Small Meals
Encourage 5-6 meals a day, including snacks like nuts, fruit smoothies, or boiled eggs.
3. Increase Dairy Intake
Give full-fat milk, paneer, and curd. Add ghee to dal and roti.
4. Protein & Iron-Rich Diet
Ensure dal, eggs, and nuts are included in meals to support muscle growth.
5. Healthy Snacks Homemade laddoos (dry fruits & atta-based) Whole wheat sandwiches with peanut butter Cheese or paneer rolls Banana with honey 6. Encourage Good Eating Habits Avoid too much junk food, as it lacks essential nutrients. Create a fun mealtime routine with variety and attractive plating. 7. Check for Underlying Issues
If she is eating well but still not gaining weight, check for digestion issues, food intolerances, or iron deficiency with a pediatrician.
