POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Your child's weight (12 kg) could be within the normal range depending on their age and height. If you feel their growth is a little slow, here are some steps to improve their weight and overall growth:
1. Nutrient-Rich Diet
Ensure a balanced diet with the right mix of proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates:
Protein: Eggs, paneer, dal, chicken, fish, sprouts. Healthy Fats: Ghee, butter, nuts, seeds, coconut. Carbs for Energy: Rice, roti, oats, sweet potatoes. Iron & Calcium: Ragi, spinach, dairy products, dry fruits. 2. Offer Frequent, Calorie-Dense Meals Give 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals. Add ghee, nuts, banana, cheese, or yogurt to increase calories. 3. Ensure Proper Digestion If digestion is weak, offer homemade probiotics like curd, buttermilk. Avoid junk food, excess sugar, and processed items. 4. Encourage Physical Activity & Outdoor Play Outdoor play and exercises help boost appetite and muscle growth. Sunlight exposure is important for Vitamin D and bone health. 5. Sleep & Hydration Ensure 10-12 hours of good sleep for proper growth. Keep the child well-hydrated with water, coconut water, and soups.
If weight gain is still slow despite a good diet and activity, consider consulting a pediatrician to rule out deficiencies. Let me know your child’s age for a more detailed plan!
