A. start iron calcium and multivitamins supplements regularly and protein powder with milk twice a day as diet alone can't meet nutritional requirements of a growing child. offer more liquids and fruits

A. Hello dear parent, for 4.5 years old you should not worry much about weight. As children at this age are very active and always running and jumping. You should give him his supplements like iron calcium and vitamin etc but with the doctors permission only. Also give him rich diet like ghee butter cheese etc. Also give full cream milk either plain or in the form of banana shake etc.
