#asktheexpert how can i make my son to gain some weight he is 10 kg and thin body build

A. 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.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. But as long as the baby is taking feeds and eating properly, poops and pees regularly and is active and healthy you need not worry much about the weight.
