A. If your 3-year-old is not gaining height and weight as expected, it’s important to take a balanced approach focusing on nutrition, routine, and medical assessment. Here's what you can do: 1. Nutrient-Rich Diet: Protein-rich foods: Eggs, paneer, dal, curd, chicken, fish (if non-vegetarian). Healthy fats: Ghee, nuts powder (if no allergy), peanut butter, avocado. Energy foods: Banana, sweet potato, rice, whole wheat roti, khichdi with ghee. Calcium and Vitamin D: Milk, curd, cheese, and safe sunlight exposure. Offer 5-6 small meals a day including snacks like fruits, smoothies, boiled corn, or homemade laddus. 2. Track Growth: Keep a monthly record of weight and height. Compare with standard growth charts (based on WHO or Indian Academy of Pediatrics). 3. Daily Routine: Ensure 10–12 hours of sleep. Encourage active play outdoors for at least 1 hour. 4. Health Check-Up: Get a pediatric evaluation to rule out issues like: Iron, zinc, or vitamin D deficiency Worm infection (deworming may be advised every 6 months) Thyroid or hormonal imbalance (if growth is severely delayed) 5. Avoid: Excessive milk (over 500 ml/day can reduce food appetite) Junk food and packaged snacks A pediatrician can guide you better by checking growth history, appetite, and ruling out medical causes
