#AskTheExpert #Mamypoko hello doctor, my kid is 3 year old now. he is active and learn things properly. however, he is only 11 to 12 kg. he have meals but skips milk. kindly help how to improve his growth..

A. Ideal weight of a 3 years okd baby boy should be between 14 to 14.5 kgs depending on eating habits and physical activities. To increase the weight, include fat and protein rich foods like potato, rice, pumpkin, sweet potato, eggs, chicken, fish, legumes, ghee, milkshakes with dry fruits, banana, avocado, paneer and 550-650 ml milk everyday including variety of fluids. Feed 3 main meals and 2-3 times healthy snacks. If baby does not drink milk directly try to mix dry fruits powder or give foods made from it like oats with nuts, kheer, custard with fruits, cheese, curd, buttermilk, etc.
