A. dear parent, some children gain weight slowly. if your child 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.
grains and millets 4 servings
pulses legumes/egg non veg: 1-2 servings
seasonal vegetables including green leafy vegetables: 1.5 serving
fruits - 1 serving
milk and milk products 500ml
sugar 4 tsp
oil 5 tsp
control intake of process packaged food

A. you should consult with the doctor...his body is not taking nutrients maybe because of any health issues.. go for a blood test and allow him for physical activities.. sometimes only eating can't help in gaining weight..
