A. Dear parent, if your baby has tripled the birth weight by 12 months and is active, playful and achieving all growth milestones then do not worry. For healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. At least 500 ml of full cream milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Give dry fruits like almonds, peanuts, walnuts, raisins, dates. Add ghee to every meal. Breastfeed till 2 years.
