A. 6.5 kg weight is less for his age. Give protein rich diet...as protien is building unit of our body. Like- all pulses, eggs, all milk and milk products, banana, youghrt, beans, chickpeas, tofu, nuts.These foods are important for your child’s bone growth, muscle development and stimulate body growth. As they are rich in proteins and minerals, including them in a child’s diet ensures increase in height and weight. In fact, dried fruits and nuts are the most ideal food for undernourished children to gain weight as they provide all the required micro-nutrients along with calories and fats. Give all seasonal fruits and vegetables. Maintain hygein. Do Consult your paedritician to rule out underlying cause of underweight and treatment accordingly.

A. Hi mom Weight of ur baby is fine. Weight should be anywhere between 6.3 - 9 kgs. If ur baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much. Include ghee, dry fruits powder, Banana, potatoes, rice, avocado, ragi etc in ur baby's diet for weight gain
